Tyler Bilodeau taken in the second round in The Athletic's NBA mock
The Athletic's Sam Vecenie has UCLA forward Tyler Bilodeau going 50th overall to the Toronto Raptors in his NBA mock draft.
We’re just over a month away from the NBA Draft but after the draft lottery last week, now’s a good time to dive into some mock drafts to supplement your NBA playoff action. Sam Vecenie of The Athletic has one UCLA Bruin being selected in this year’s draft, with forward Tyler Bilodeau going 50th overall to the Toronto Raptors in his mock draft from earlier this week. Bilodeau had his official measurements at the NBA Draft Combine earlier this week, where it was found out that he stands at just over 6’7” .
Even if Bilodeau lacks the height NBA general managers might wish for, he has a lot of other desirable traits. Bilodeau is a capable shooter, shooting 46. 4% from three this past season and an even 40.
0% for his career. Bilodeau will never be tasked with being a primary ballhandler but he’s not a liability with the ball in his hands either. The Oregon State transfer averaged over an assist a game and was at just 1.
3 turnovers per game this past season. How would Bilodeau fit onto the Raptors roster? Toronto has Jakob Poeltl and Sandro Mamukelashvili at center, with Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram and Collin Murray-Boyles all fighting for minutes at power forward.
