The No. 20 pick in the NBA draft has been a who's who of who cares since the lottery was introduced back in 1985.

The only noteworthy names of the bunch are Jameer Nelson and Zydrunas Ilgauskas—both of whom made at least one All-Star team, and the Cleveland Cavaliers retired Ilgauskas' number in 2014.

The Toronto Raptors will hope that their selection this year will break the trend of mediocrity, although history won't be on their side.

This will be the third time Toronto selects at No. 20, having drafted Kareem Rush in 2002 (who was immediately traded to the Los Angeles Lakers) and Bruno Caboclo in 2014.

A bottom-third pick won't fix everything in one fell swoop, but general manager Masai Ujiri's Raptors have a number of needs after being swept out of the NBA playoffs by the Washington Wizards—with rebounding and defensive efficiency being the two biggest.

Ujiri likely won't make any earth-shattering moves on June 25, but if he plays his cards right, he can take his lowly first-rounder and turn it into something head coach Dwane Casey can incorporate into his rotation in 2015-16.
