Toronto Raptors Draft Picks 2025: Who Will They Select In NBA Draft?
Summer means many things to sports fans, from the arrival of the postseason in the NHL and NBA to the mercury rising ever higher across Canada.
Sadly for Toronto Raptors fans, and their Ontario sports betting backers, the team was nowhere to be found on the NBA’s postseason bracket. The Raptors missed the field for a second straight season after making the playoffs eight out of nine seasons between 2014 and 2022, including the franchise’s lone NBA championship in 2019.
So now they have the NBA Draft to look forward to with two picks at their disposal.
Toronto Raptors Draft Picks 2025: Picks
- Round 1: The Raptors selected Collin Murray-Boyles, a 6'7 power forward from South Carolina.
- Round 2, Pick No. 39 (from the Portland Trail Blazers): The Raptors used this pick to select shooting guard Alijah Martin, a two-way guard from Florida.
The Raptors finished 30-52, placing 11th in the Eastern Conference. Now, with these new picks, they hope to see some traction.
The Raptors' futures odds at Ontario sportsbook apps have changed slightly.
Toronto has +25000 odds at BetMGM Ontario Sportsbook to win the NBA title in 2026.
With that in mind, OntarioBets.com broke down what Toronto did in the 2025 NBA Draft, and how it will affect them.

Toronto Raptors Draft Needs 2025
- Rim Protection/Defensive Center
- Shooting and Floor Spacing
The Raptors are looking for size and will certainly search for a rim protector who can box out and play defense. Overall, they have the scorers, but need to find the players who can defend. Their other need is for better shooting and players with high basketball IQ.
Leading scorers RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley all stand a chance of being dealt this offseason (see our Immanuel Quickley trade odds for more).
Collin Murray-Boyles was a great choice, and he is an excellent power forward who will be a threat on defense, which is what the Raptors badly need.
Toronto Raptors Top Draft Pick 2025
Draft Position | Player | College | PER in 2025-26 |
1.09 | Collin Murray-Bowles | South Carolina | 8.9 |
Murray-Boyles was a great pick for the Raptors, as he averaged 16.8 points, and 8.3 rebounds per game while shooting 58.6% from the field. Also, he had 1.5 steals per game. Time will tell how he adjusts in this rotation for Toronto.
