Roots & the rise

A 6-foot-7 sharpshooting wing — floor spacing and movement shooting for the Raptors.

Gradey Dick was born in Wichita, Kansas and was the 2022 Gatorade National Player of the Year before one season at Kansas, where he shot over 40% from three. Toronto drafted him 13th in 2023 as a designated shooter with size.

He made a strong sophomore leap — a career-high 14.4 points a game as a regular starter, including a 32-point game against Milwaukee — before a right knee injury ended his 2024-25 season early. A floor-spacing wing whose calling card is perimeter and movement shooting, he projects as a valuable shooter for the Raptors' young core.

BEYOND THE GAME

Beyond the game

Dick comes from a basketball family — his mother played college ball at Iowa State — and built his profile early, winning national player of the year honors and a FIBA 3x3 Under-18 gold medal. Off the court he has a media presence (an Adidas deal, Gillette commercials, and a Bleacher Report podcast), reflecting a marketable, personable star.

His on-court identity is elite shooting with size — a 6-foot-7 wing whose catch-and-shoot and movement three-point shooting (over 40% in college, strong free-throw shooting) make him a natural floor-spacer. Developing his defense, playmaking, and health are the keys, but his shooting and size give him a clear, valuable role for Toronto.

ANALYSIS

What the numbers say

Elite shooting with size

Dick's value is floor-spacing — a 6-foot-7 wing whose catch-and-shoot and movement three-point shooting (over 40% in college, strong free-throw shooting) make him a natural spacer who shoots over defenders. His sophomore leap to a 14-point starter showed a rising role as Toronto's designated shooter.

Rounding out the game

The developmental keys are defense, playmaking, and health after a season-ending knee injury. But his shooting and size give him a clear, valuable niche around Barnes, Ingram, and Quickley; if his all-around game and durability develop, he projects as a starting-caliber floor-spacing wing for the Raptors' young core.
