The Toronto Raptors have selected guard Ja'Kobe Walter with the 19th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Walter, a standout freshman from Baylor University, averaged 14.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game last season, earning him Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors. Known for his three-point shooting, Walter brings both offensive potential and defensive challenges due to his lack of footspeed. Additionally, the Raptors traded Davion Mitchell and Sasha Vezenkov to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Jalen McDaniels and the 45th pick in the upcoming draft. This series of moves signals Toronto's commitment to building around young talent like Scottie Barnes and new acquisitions.
