        This is pretty damn interesting. I hope the scouting crew are working as hard as the marketing crew.

          Quite difficult to read mobily.

          But, that's very visually appeasing.

            They should edit the Roy Hibbert ***traded to Los Angeles Lakers

            That looks crazy though.

              The fact they've never drafted lower than 21st tells you all you need to know about this team's lack of success.

                We have a pick coming up this year in the 1-10 range, likely 8ish. How much confidence do folks have in Colangelo come draft night?

                People love to throw mud at BC and his draft choices it seems ... I personally think some of it is rooted in Raptors draft pains from the Babcock era - and some folks mix in the sentiment. BC didn't lose out on Iggy or Granger ... he drafted well.

                Our roster next year will be made up of many key pieces that were BC's draft picks.
                -Jonas, Bargnani, Demar, Ed and our pick this year (hopefully a rotation piece)

                And as much as there are always talented players passed up, in all cases there were players in the range we chose that would have been much worse picks. Let's see, by looking at the next 5 players in our pick's 'range':

                2006: #1 Andrea Bargnani.
                Then, in order: Lamarcus Aldridge, Adam Morrison, Tyrus Thomas, Shelden Williams, & Brandon Roy.

                Aldridge was a nice pick, but not out of Bargnani's league as a potential all-star PF - or a retired Roy ...

                2009: #9 Demar Derozan.
                Then, in order: Brandon Jennings, Terrence Williams, Gerald Henderson, Tyler Hansbrough, & Earl Clark.

                Jennings would be cool, but wouldn't necessarily give up Demar for him at this point ...

                2010: #13 Ed Davis.
                Then, in order: Patrick Patterson, Larry Sanders, Luke Babbitt, Kevin Seraphin, & Eric Bledsoe.

                Sanders can block shots, but is way behind offensively. Bledsoe has shown signs, but still unrefined ...

                2011: #5 Jonas Valanciunas.
                Then, in order: Jan Vesely, Bismack Biyombo, Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker, Jimmer Fredette.

                Home run! Too early for big judgements on any of these folks - but what we've seen of Jonas since this draft appears to be a player much more developed than this group of rookies, still struggling to pick-up the NBA game ...

                So - do you have draft angst towards BC? As a talent evaluator, he seems to outperform his peers in many cases.
                He didn't to too badly in Phoenix either.

                  I guess it all depends on whether Memphis prefers Gay or Mayo, and what other offers are received for Gay if he's the one made available. I think they'd be hardpressed to find a deal that nets them a young player with more upside than DeRozan AND a draft pick as high as #8 (regardless of who else is involved). If the Raptors did make a move that included the #8 pick, I hope they'd at least be getting Memphis' #25 pick back.

                  If the Raps had to include the #8 pick without unloading Amir's contract, I'd almost rather see them pursue a free agent like Batum or Mayo. I personally just think that DD, JJ, ED, the #8 pick and adding $8M of salary is quite the price to pay for Rudy Gay... almost too much, IMO.
                  Gay is a solid (not great player) but at $50+ mil left???
                  Would you rather have Batum & Mayo or Gay & keep Bayless next year? Roughly same money.

                    I don't think you get Batum for less than $12M and Gay for less than $7M.

                    Only off by $2.5M on next year though.

                    Puts things in perspective but, again, do the teams match? Memphis? Probably not. Portland? Most likely.

                      Hibbert got traded to Indiana.

                      But, they shouldn't do that. Because then they'd have to do that for Antawn Jamison as well. Plus, they are still toronto draftees. Not to mention it would just look dumb.

                        That other guy that went there had some issues too, didn't he? Look how he turned out.

                          Gay? I think you mean Mayo for $7M
                          Anywho why not get Danny green or Brandon rush and make a run at Batum for $11M

                                Wow, lots of love in the poll for PJ3 ... surprising.
