With the 2025 NBA Draft getting closer, the Toronto Raptors are continuing their prep behind the scenes. This page will track every known workout and interview the team has conducted with draft-eligible prospects, based on reports from various news outlets and players themselves. It will be updated regularly as more names emerge.

Workouts and interviews can offer a glimpse into who the Raptors are considering, but they’re not guarantees. Sometimes the team will draft a player they never brought in for a workout. That was the case last year when Toronto selected Ja’Kobe Walter without a visit.

Still, this tracker helps provide context for the team’s scouting process and what direction they might be leaning as the draft approaches.

Derik Queen | C | Maryland

The Raptors reportedly interviewed the Maryland big man on May 14 in Chicago, per Sportsnet's Michael Grange.

Queen is widely viewed as one of the top centers in the draft and is projected to go in the lottery. He’d give the Raptors a young backup behind Jakob Poeltl with room to develop and could add some offensive upside to the second unit.

Tre Johnson | G | Texas

Toronto reportedly met with Texas freshman Tre Johnson in Chicago, per Josh Robbins of the Athletic.

Johnson is one of the most explosive offensive guards in the class and is expected to be off the board before Toronto picks at No. 9. If the Raptors are interested in the 6-foot-5 guard, it would likely take a move into the top five or six to get him.

Jase Richardson | G | Michigan State

The Raptors are said to have interviewed Michigan State's Jase Richardson at the draft combine, per Josh Robbins of the Athletic.

Richardson, the son of former NBA guard Jason Richardson, broke out this past season at Michigan State as a crafty, undersized point guard with strong scoring instincts. He’s projected to go in the middle of the first round.

Collin Murray-Boyles | F | South Carolina

Toronto reportedly interviewed South Carolina's Collin Murray-Boyes at the draft combine, per Libaan Osman of the Toronto Star.

Murray-Boyles is viewed as one of the top and most versatile defensive wings in this year’s draft. He’d give Toronto another multi-positional defender in the mold of Scottie Barnes and is projected to go right around the Raptors’ pick at No. 9.

Alex Toohey | F | Sydney, Australia

Toronto will reportedly workout Alex Toohey later this summer, per Sportsnet's Michael Grange.

The 6-foot-8 Australian is a versatile forward and skilled playmaker who’s still developing on both ends of the floor. He’s projected to be a second-round pick and could be a target for Toronto at No. 39.

Sion James | G | Duke

Toronto will reportedly meet with Sion James on May 15 in Chicago, per Sportsnet's Michael Grange.

A fifth-year senior from Duke, James profiles as a 3-and-D guard and measured just over 6-foot-4 at the draft combine. He’s projected to go in the second round, likely after Toronto's pick at No. 39.

Lamont Butler | G | Kentucky

The Raptors will reportedly work out Lamont Butler ahead of the NBA Draft, per Bill O'Rear.

Butler is a fifth-year senior who was invited to the G League draft and could be a prospect Toronto is eyeing for the Raptors 905 or as a training camp invitee this offseason.

Jamir Watkins | F | Florida State

The Raptors appear to have worked out Jamir Watkins who posted a photo on his Instagram from the OVO Athletice Centre.

The 23-year-old Watkins is a 6-foot-5 senior who is projected to go in the second round.

Tahaad Pettiford | G | Auburn

Toronto will reportedly work out Tahaad Pettiford, per Justin Hokanson of On3.

Pettiford, 19, is a 6-foot point guard projected to go in the second round.

RJ Felton | G | East Carolina

The Raptors will reportedly host RJ Felton, per Cody Taylor of Rookie Wire.

Felton is a 6-foot-3 senior point guard who could be a target for Toronto as an undrafted free agent.

Trey Townsend | F | Arizona

Trey Townsend posted a photo on Instagram in Toronto ahead of his workout with the Raptors.

The fifth-year senior out of Arizona is not expected to be drafted but could be a target for the organization following the draft.

TJ Bamba | G | Oregon

TJ Bamba posted a photo on Instagram from Toronto, suggesting a workout with the Raptors.

The 6-foot-5 guard was among the best defensive guards in the Big Ten last year and could be a prospect to watch as an undrafted free agent.

Aaron Scott | F | St John's

Aaron Scott will reportedly work out for Toronto ahead of the draft, per Dave Berov of The Eye of the Storm Podcast.

Scott is a 6-foot-7 wing who is not projected to get drafted this year.

Dajuan Harris Jr. | G | Kansas

Dajuan Harris Jr. announced on Instagram he worked out for Toronto.

The 6-foot-2 guard is a tough on-ball defender who is not expected to be drafted.

LJ Cryer | G | Houston

Houston guard LJ Cryer has reportedly worked out for the Raptors, per Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle.

Cryer is an elite three-point shooter who is not expected to be drafted this year.

Ryan Nembhard | G | Gonzaga

Canadian point guard Ryan Nembhard will reportedly work out for Toronto on June 9, per Sportsnet's Michael Grange.

Nembhard, the younger brother of Andrew Nembhard, led the NCAA in assists per game this past year and is expected to be a late second-round pick.

Jahmyl Telfort | F | Butler

Montreal-native Jahmyl Telfort has reportedly worked out for the Raptors, per Wesley Brown.

Telfort will be a name to watch in the undrafted free agent market if Toronto wants to add a Canadian 3-and-D wing for Summer League.

Johni Broome | C/F | Auburn

Auburn's Johni Broome has reportedly worked out for Toronto, per HoopsHype.

Broome, 22, in an undersized center who averaged 18.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game for the Tigers this past year and is expected to be drafted in the second round this year.
