No. 31 pick Jonathan Mogbo signs 3-year contract with Raptors

The Raptors have reportedly signed Jonathan Mogbo, the 31st pick in the draft, to a three-year contract.

The Toronto Raptors have reportedly signed Jonathan Mogbo, the 31st pick in the 2024 NBA draft, to a three-year, $6.11 million contract, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

Mogbo was named to the All-WCC first team after averaging 14.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals on 63.6% shooting from the field at San Francisco. He ranked 10th in the country in field-goal percentage and was one of 16 players to average a double-double.

The 6-foot-7 forward was named the West Coast Conference Newcomer of the Year. He registered five 20-point games, including a season-high 30 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block on Jan. 4 in a win over Pacific.

Mogbo had a tremendous predraft process to establish himself as an early second-round pick. He is highly touted as a scorer and projects to be a good rim-roller and lob threat, given his athleticism and size at 6 feet, 6 inches and 217 pounds.

The 22-year-old is expected to suit up with the Raptors in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada. They will play at least five games, starting on July 13 against the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Pavilion (8:30 p.m. EDT, NBA TV).

He will likely be joined by fellow draft picks Ja’Kobe Walter (20th pick) and Jamal Shead (45th pick), and undrafted free agents Branden Carlson and Joe Girard III, among others.

Report: San Francisco’s Jonathan Mogbo to have predraft workout with Thunder

Report: San Francisco’s Jonathan Mogbo to have predraft workout with Thunder.

The calendar has flipped to June, which means NBA teams are intensifying their predraft process and hosting players for workouts and visits. The 2024 NBA draft will take place from June 26-27.

The Oklahoma City Thunder enter this year’s class with a sole draft pick of the No. 12 selection. OKC was gifted the free lottery pick via the Houston Rockets.

The Thunder will host several meetings with draft prospects in the coming weeks. This includes players outside the lottery range as OKC will likely seek to add undrafted free agents or even buy back into the second round if it likes someone enough.

One possibility is San Francisco’s Jonathan Mogbo. He is set to have a predraft workout with the Thunder, per Locked On’s Rylan Stiles.

The 22-year-old spent a couple of seasons at the JUCO level before he spent his last two college years at Missouri State and San Francisco.

In 34 games last season, Mogbo averaged 14.2 points on 63.6% shooting, 10.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists. At 6-foot-6, 225 pounds, he has good size for a forward.

Mogbo will have a shot to be a second-round selection. OKC doesn’t own a second-round pick but can easily buy back into the round if it likes him enough. He can also possibly be an undrafted free agent target.

A full list of 2024 NBA draft prospects that have worked out or visited the Thunder in the predraft process can be viewed here.

Report: San Francisco junior Jonathan Mogbo to remain in 2024 NBA draft

Mogbo was named to the All-ACC first team this past season after averaging 14.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals.

San Francisco junior Jonathan Mogbo will reportedly remain in the 2024 NBA draft after one season with the Dons, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.

Mogbo was named to the All-WCC first team after averaging 14.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals on 63.6% shooting from the field. He ranked 10th in the country in field-goal percentage and was one of 16 players to average a double-double.

The 6-foot-7 forward was named the West Coast Conference Newcomer of the Year. He registered five 20-point games, including a season-high 30 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block on Jan. 4 in a win over Pacific.

Mogbo is rising up draft boards and is projected to be a second-round pick after impressing at the combine in Chicago, Illinois. He averaged 3.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and two steals in two scrimmage games, and had the fifth-fastest three-quarter sprint (3.02 seconds).

The 22-year-old is highly touted as a scorer, given his ability to handle the ball and finish at the rim. He is athletic and projects to be a good rim-roller and lob threat. His size and 7-foot, 2-inch wingspan allow him to rebound and defend multiple positions.

Mogbo has participated in several predraft workouts with teams, including the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans. He will likely continue to visit teams, especially those in his draft range.

The 2024 NBA draft will take place June 26-27 in New York City.
