Toronto Raptors — DeMar DeRozan (9th, 2009)
John E. Sokolowski/USA TODAY Sports
Toronto started off strong in the draft after entering the league in 1995. The team’s initial first-round picks were Damon Stoudamire, Marcus Camby, and Tracy McGrady. Its fourth first-rounder was Antawn Jamison, who was quickly shipped off to Golden State in exchange for multi-time All-Star Vince Carter. Carter, of course, is arguably the most impactful Raptor of all-time given his overall popularity. However, this spot belongs to DeMar DeRozan. DeRozan gave everything to the organization and brought the team back from the depths with multiple playoff appearances. The skilled shooting guard led Toronto to its most wins in franchise history (59) in his final season with the team.
