Raptors fans should watch five key college players
As March Madness unfolds, Toronto Raptors fans are looking for future talent to help the team in the upcoming draft. While the Raptors are currently struggling this season, they have a chance to improve through the draft in June. The Raptors are currently 11th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 24-45. This gives them one of the worst records in the league, which could lead to a higher draft pick. Fans are encouraged to watch the tournament to spot potential stars who could join the team. Here are five players to watch during March Madness: **V.J. Edgecombe from Baylor** has improved his shooting skills and is showing strong defensive abilities. He could be a perfect fit for the Raptors with his athleticism and scoring potential. A big performance against teams like Mississippi State and Duke could boost his draft stock. **Khaman Maluach from Duke** is a seven-foot-two center known for his defensive potential. While he hasn't had a chance to shine alongside top players, he has shown good shooting skills. His size and wingspan would be valuable for the Raptors, especially if Duke makes a deep tournament run. **Derik Queen from Maryland** is a versatile offensive player standing at six-foot-10. He leads his team in scoring, averaging 16.3 points per game. While his defense needs work, his offensive skills and potential playmaking could make him a target for the Raptors. **Kasparas Jakucionis from Illinois** stands six-foot-six and is known as the best pure point guard in his class. Despite not being the fastest player, his size and playmaking abilities could add depth to the Raptors' backcourt. Illinois has a tough path in the tournament, and his performance could sway scouts' opinions. **Jase Richardson from Michigan State** has recently emerged as a strong scorer, averaging 17.2 points in his last eleven games. His ability to score both off the ball and creating his own shots makes him an appealing prospect for the Raptors. Fans are excited to see how these players perform in March Madness and which of them might become future Raptors stars.
