The Mock Draft season rolls on as we approach the deadline to withdraw from the NBA draft on Aug. 17. There have been strong rumors thrown around about the draft status of Michigan State’s Xavier Tillman. Nonetheless, he keeps popping up in a plethora of 2020 NBA Mock Drafts.
Bleacher Report writer Zach Buckley put out another iteration of his 2020 NBA Mock Draft which features Xavier Tillman as a late first-round pick. In this Mock Draft, Buckley projects the Toronto Raptors selecting Xavier Tillman with the No. 28 overall pick.
Tillman landing in Toronto would be a splendid scenario. Nick Nurse has really maximized and developed players well on the Raptors. Plus, the team is still incredibly competitive in the East despite the departure of star player Kawhi Leonard. Lastly, Tillman can potentially play with guards like Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet.
