The Toronto Raptors are believed to be strong suitors to select Kansas' Gradey Dick in the NBA Draft.

Dick, though, would be entirely different. He shot 40.3% from behind the arc on nearly six attempts per game, more than half of his attempted field goals. He averaged 14.1 points per game with 5.1 rebounds and nearly two assists.

The questions for Dick come in terms of individual playmaking and defensive ability.

“When driving the ball, Dick does lack the explosiveness and creative moves to get by good defenders,” wrote Sports Illustrated. “He’s more of a straight-line driver that leverages his physicality and size to get to the rim. However, he is good at using fakes and jabs to get defenders to over-commit in order to get to his spots.

6 foot 7. If he can't create his own offence I guess he is more of a shooter?

Yeah a 3-point shooter. I think the Raps will go for another long shot, this kind player doesn't feel like the Masai pick we're used to.
