Raptors Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The Raptors are going to be far more reactive than proactive in the NBA draft, given their No. 5 slot and the varying needs of a franchise coming off a 22-win season.
They have needs at point guard, center and small forward and have narrowed a list of possibilities down to about five.
The trouble is, they can't read what may happen with the first four selections, and that's added some extra work to the process.
The two point guards who have caught their eye—Kentucky's Brandon Knight and Connecticut's Kemba Walker—may be gone by the time the Raptors get around to choosing, so they've taken a long hard look at the likes of small forward Kawhi Leonard and the group of European big men that's headed by Jan Vesely of the Czech Republic.
