that would be a mistake i think. should go with adam morrison or j.j. redick.

but this draft looks weak. can u imagine they had that when leBron was selected 1st overall?

Mistake, How so? Bringing in another power forward like Bargnani would compliment Bosh very nicely. But I agree with Redick, I would also like having a pure shooter dropping baskets left and right. Humm, just glad I'm not making the decision.

this isnt updated yet but JJ redick is pretty low. And I would be happy with Rudy Gay on the team.

100% Raps need to draft someone with immediate star potential. Forget this Andrea 'gay' he is a project and will need a few years to flourish. And the Raps show time and time again that they can't polish rough diamonds. I say go with Morrison. Dude is proven leader and has proven scoring talent.

Maybe even trade down a couple spots to get him?

figures this is the year we get number one..... in the weakest first round of draft we have seen in YEARS (mind you, the draft is VERY deep this year)

I thought I was hearing things when I heard this morning that the Raptors had the #1 Overall pick. Yay!!

Too bad the draft isn't nearly as good as recent years.

I bet they trade the pick.

Either they trade for a slightly lower pick and still get Bargnani (or someone decent) or they package it with a player (or two) for a legit established player.

With a fair bit of young talent to build around, I see a solid veteran being more valuable than a first round pick in a relatively weak draft.

I wish somehow that they could turn this situation into Ben Wallace coming to Toronto...but I highly doubt that's going to happen

hopefully
our gm knows whats hes doing, i have faith, the raptors are going to be pretty good this year finally.

Sure, trading the pic for an established player would be great, but as everyone is saying this is a weak draft; who is gonna trade an established player for number one pic in this draft? Nobody. I agree that taking Bargnani sounds like a lot more work .. the other projects (Sow and Araujo) haven't turned out. I don't think Toronto can take another Haffa.

That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Morrison or Tyrus Thomas .. hell even "big baby" Glen Davis!
