LOUISVILLE, Ky. – UofL men's basketball graduate guard Chucky Hepburn has agreed to a two-way contract with the Toronto Raptors.
The reigning ACC Defensive Player of the Year spent his final year of eligibility with the Cardinals after playing for Wisconsin for three seasons.
In 2024-25, Hepburn averaged 16.4 points, 5.8 assists and 2.4 steals per game. He logged 198 total assists against just 103 turnovers, all while shooting 43.2% from the floor and 84.4% at the charity stripe.
