Toronto initially drafted Poeltl ninth overall in the 2016 Draft before trading him to San Antonio in a blockbuster deal involving franchise star DeMar DeRozan in 2018.
Poeltl blossomed into one of the NBA’s better centers with the Spurs, at which point Toronto reacquired him at this year’s trade deadline. He averaged 13.1 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in his 26-game return stint with the Raptors.
