## Resource

The Toronto Raptors selected Santa Clara forward Allen Graves with the 19th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, and while he's not the shot creating guard many fans were hoping for, it's a perfectly defensible choice. In a bonus Draft reaction episode, Sean Woodley shares his initial reactions to the pick, why he was disappointed to see Labaron Philon slip to 19 only to get passed on by the Raptors, and why Graves still makes plenty of sense as a front court addition who can fit alongside one or both of Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles.
