Raptors during we the north era 2014-2019 always had one of the best benches in nba

Starting with 2015 draft, delon wright and Norman powell

2016 draft, poeltl, Siakam and undrafted fvv

In 2 years we got 5 really good bench pieces which we developed. Siakam and fvv eventually became all stars

2017 draft we got og anuogby, another hit pick

2018 draft had to burn a first to get rid of demarre Carroll contract

2019 draft, pick went to spurs for Kawhi, bust with Dewan herendaz

Now this where things get muddy

2020 draft we just Malachi Flynn, right after Desmond bane selected

Jalen Harris off court issues

Flynn hasn’t developed at all in my opinion

2021 draft we land Scottie Barnes nice pick, but we go 0/2 with second round picks with David Johnson and banton

2022 draft we move back 15 spots for thad young, choose Koloko who has not made any impact, injuries and no offense game

2023 draft - Gradey dick, juror still out on. Right now tho no impact with bench

Then you got players like precious, trent who have made no progress development wise since they got here, same issues implied

We had many chances to have decent bench, front office and play development gas failed miserably, this wouldn’t have happen in 2014-2019 time

    If someone is interested, 2018 pick (#29 and #59 in 2nd round) turned into Dzana Musa, who barely played 1 season in the NBA with nets (they got the pick for taking on Demare). But that year’s 2nd round is pretty stacked. Brunson, Carter, Graham, Mitchell Robinson, GTJ, Svi, Melton, Shake Milton.
