Raptors draft centre Jonathan Mogbo 31st overall, reportedly trade McDaniels to Kings
Jonathan Mogbo has been selected 31st overall by the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Draft.
Toronto then took Jamal Shead 45th overall with a pick acquired from the Sacramento Kings in a trade earlier in the day.
The Raptors reportedly sent small forward Jalen McDaniels to the Kings for point guard Davion Mitchell and power forward Sasha Vezenkov.
Toronto also received the pick used to select Shead and the Portland Trailblazers’ second-round selection in next year’s draft.
The deal was not yet official, pending a trade call to the NBA’s head office.
Because the deal was not finalized, the Kings officially drafted Shead with the understanding he will be sent to the Raptors to complete the deal.
The six-foot-six, 225-pound centre from West Palm Beach, Fla., was a junior.
Toronto picked Baylor University swingman Ja’Kobe Walter 19th overall in the first round on Wednesday night.
McDaniels averaged 3.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 10.8 minutes of play over 50 games last season.
Mitchell had 5.3 points, 1.9 assists and 1.3 rebounds per game in 72 appearances last season.
Vezenkov averaged 5.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists over 42 contests in Sacramento.
