Toronto Raptors draft Allen Graves, a versatile forward who fits their two-way style See why Toronto chose the 6-foot-9 Santa Clara standout and what comes next

The Toronto Raptors used the 19th pick in the NBA Draft to select forward Allen Graves on Tuesday night in Brooklyn, New York. The sixfootnine player from Santa Clara is the latest tall, versatile forward to join a team that has often valued athletic wings. Graves said Toronto’s style and team culture made the fit appealing, noting that the organization’s focus on big twoway players matched his game. He pointed to his visit with the club and the chance to join a team that he believes is moving in the right direction. Last season, Graves averaged 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists, while also contributing defensively with steals and blocks. Raptors general manager Bobby Webster said the team continues to prioritize twoway players, and added that Toronto still plans to look for help at guard and centre through the draft, trades or free agency.
