If Irving's available when we draft, for sure we should take him. If he's gone, I think we need to go after a SF: Barnes or D.Williams would be my choice. I like the other PGs like Kemba but I'm not sure if any of them will be highly successful in the NBA.

The only projected Top 5-6 player I can't see fitting in with the Raps at all is Derrick Williams. There's no way he'll be able to play SF in the NBA, and Amir/Ed have the 4 spot locked down. (I also think he'll be this year's bust.) Every other position can fit one way or another into our future, except SG, but there really aren't any top-tier talents there anyway.
My draft board:
1. Kyrie Irving
2a. Kemba Walker
2b. Harrison Barnes
3. Jonas Valanciunas
4. Enes Kanter
If those three were gone and Derrick was available, I would trade down for someone like Knight/T. Jones/Vesely. That being said, I'd be pretty dang annoyed if one of those top 5 weren't a Raptor by June.
Also, I have zero interest in Perry Jones, whatever position he plays...Last edited by jrdyck; Mon Mar 28, 2011, 09:14 PM.

If they both come out - Derrick Willliams has to be 1st choice- skills and heart
Harrison Barnes as 2nd choice- scorer withut forcing it+ heart
Brandon Knight if possible with 2nd 1st round pick- If we have to trade up PLEASE trade up. This guy has it over Walker and Irving- he is a PG 1st

I also need to look at a couple of Euros are getting high praise, as well as Williams from Arizona.

Granted it was under Jerry Sloan but they managed to be very successful with a PF who had a post up game and a C who could shoot in Boozer and Okur. One could argue that Jefferson is more of a PF and an inside out tandem of Jefferson and Bargnani could work. In thinking of a reasonable trade between UTA and TOR, Okur/NJ 1st round pick for Bargnani seems plausible. On Utah's end they get a 20ppg scorer to make room for Jefferson, one of the best post up players in the league plus they currently have 2 good to very good defenders in the backcourt with Bell and Harris. For Toronto, they get a veteran who can fill in for a year while a Kanter or Valancianus develops. Plus the draft pick will likely be top 6 so they can get another young piece so maybe a YoungOnez promotion next year might actually have credibility. Okur also would provide, if he can stay healthy, a reasonable trade off in offensive output versus defensive contributions compared to Bargnani.

Bargnani's been nicked up all year and his age will come too, just like any seven footer playing way too much competitive basketball. To be honest, I can't see how we get full value for this guy, the fact is, he's much too valuable to us for it to happen like that. I'm not saying Okur is amazing return, but if we get a draft pick of any value that's all we're really getting.

---------------------
BTW If the reports of Walker being 5ft 10 are true there is no way we should take him in the top 10 or top 15. He's not a pure PG buy any stretch of the imagination and he's going to have a tough time consistently scoring in the NBA. Too much risk too little reward IMO
I like what I saw from Valanciunas but I'd still rather the raptors move down and get knight and someone else.Last edited by RaptorsFan4Life; Tue Mar 29, 2011, 12:18 AM.

This year's trade deadline was crazy and I expect nothing less at the draft. (fingers crossed)

The Hornets got a decent draft day deal when they sent Aldrich to OKC. I'd look for the Raptors to maybe try something similar.-"You can’t run from me. I mean, my heart don’t bleed Kool-Aid."
