The Toronto Raptors have selected Baylor freshman guard Ja'Kobe Walter with the No. 19 pick in the NBA Draft
Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, and Gradey Dick will now be joined by Baylor's Ja'Kobe Walter who Toronto selected with the No. 19 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Defensively, Walter has some work to do. He's not an explosive athlete and he's a little undersized as a wing, but he should put on strength at the next level as he develops into a tough on-ball defender.It was a pair of Frenchmen who opened the draft with Zaccharie Risacher and Alex Sarr going back-to-back at No. 1 and 2 to the Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards, respectively.
The first surprise of the draft came at No. 5 when the Detroit Pistons took Ron Holland II who'd been expected to slide later in the first round. Holland had been the No. 1 prospect coming out of high school but had an inconsistent season in the G League this past year. Toronto's original pick at No. 8 was flipped by San Antonio to the Minnesota Timberwolves who selected Kentuck guard Rob Dillingham. San Antonio acquired a 2031 unprotected first-round pick and a 2030 pick swap from Minnesota for Dillingham.
