With the Toronto Raptors making history last week as the first Canadian team to win the NBA title, a group of young men will look to continue the trend of blazing trails for Canadian basketball on Thursday night.



In 2014, a record four Canadians had their names called by NBA commissioner Adam Silver at the NBA Draft on a June night in Brooklyn.

On June 20th, back in Brooklyn, there could be even more ballers from north of the 49th hearing their names called by Silver as their pro careers begin.



A record number of Canadians have declared for the 2019 NBA Draft, with perhaps as many as seven of them having a legitimate shot at being one of the 60 selections.



In 2014, it was Andrew Wiggins (#1 to the Cleveland Cavaliers), Nik Stauskas (#8 to the Sacramento Kings), Tyler Ennis (#18 to the Phoenix Suns) and Dwight Powell (#45 to the Dallas Mavericks) that made up the quartet of drafted Canadians.



Let’s take a look at the group poised to exceed that number.
