The Toronto Raptors have one day remaining before the 2026 NBA Draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with Bobby Webster’s front office holding picks No. 19 and No. 50. Toronto has spent June evaluating prospects particularly at the forward position as it finalizes its board.
According to The Waraich Report, one player they have worked out is Trevon Brazile, the 6-foot-10 forward out of Arkansas. Brazile entered college as a three-star recruit from Kickapoo High School in Springfield, Missouri, committing to Missouri over limited offers.
He averaged 6.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks as a freshman before transferring to Arkansas under then-head coach Eric Musselman.
His sophomore season ended after just nine games because of a torn ACL, but he returned for his junior and senior years and used a fifth year of eligibility in 2025-26 to post the most complete season of his college career.
Brazile averaged 13.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.6 blocks across 36 games in 2025-26. He shot 52.5% from the field and 34.1% from three, finished 81.7% of his total rim attempts, threw down 57 dunks, and converted 72.9% of his half-court rim attempts.
At the combine, Brazile measured 6-foot-9.5 with a 7-foot-3.75 wingspan and his defensive versatility is one of his biggest selling points. He can switch onto smaller players, use his length to create turnovers, and cover ground in transition. The scouting consensus views him as an athletic stretch four who can play above the rim, protect the basket, and space the floor enough to fit modern lineups.
He could be a great fit on a Raptors team that runs a heavy pick-and-roll offense and relies on creators like Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram, and Immanuel Quickley to generate offense. Brazile’s value would come as a rim runner, lob threat, transition finisher, and weak-side defender without being tasked to be a primary scorer and his off-ball athleticism could play well next to Barnes in particular.
However, there are also considerable red flags in his game. Brazile is not a self-creator and most of his offense comes from spot-up shooting, cuts, transition chances, and finishes created by others. He made only two pull-up jumpers all season, and his handle remains very limited. He can play too loose in traffic, and his impact tends to come in bursts rather than across full game stretches. Brazile’s frame is also a concern, as he still needs to get stronger to hold up against more physical frontcourt players and maximize his positional versatility.
Current projections place Brazile in the late first- to second-round range, which puts him well within reach of Toronto’s picks.
