The Toronto Raptors have reportedly signed Jonathan Mogbo, the 31st pick in the 2024 NBA draft, to a three-year, $6.11 million contract, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
Mogbo was named to the All-WCC first team after averaging 14.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals on 63.6% shooting from the field at San Francisco. He ranked 10th in the country in field-goal percentage and was one of 16 players to average a double-double.
The 6-foot-7 forward was named the West Coast Conference Newcomer of the Year. He registered five 20-point games, including a season-high 30 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block on Jan. 4 in a win over Pacific.

Mogbo had a tremendous predraft process to establish himself as an early second-round pick. He is highly touted as a scorer and projects to be a good rim-roller and lob threat, given his athleticism and size at 6 feet, 6 inches and 217 pounds.
The 22-year-old is expected to suit up with the Raptors in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada. They will play at least five games, starting on July 13 against the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Pavilion (8:30 p.m. EDT, NBA TV).
He will likely be joined by fellow draft picks Ja’Kobe Walter (20th pick) and Jamal Shead (45th pick), and undrafted free agents Branden Carlson and Joe Girard III, among others.
