NBA Draft: Toronto Raptors select Gradey Dick with the 13th overall pick

BROOKLYN, NY –

The Toronto Raptors selected Gradey Dick of Kansas as 13th overall in the NBA draft on Thursday.

The six-foot-tall, 205-pound guard averaged 14.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in his lone season with the Jayhawks.

He also shot 40.3 percent from three-point range, a sore spot for the Raptors in 2022-23.

It is the third time Toronto has had a lottery selection in the past decade.

It was also the Raptors’ only choice of design.

Toronto traded its second round in the package deal that San Antonio center Jakob Poeltl acquired on the trade deadline in February.
