It's official.

Take your pick and state your case.

Rumours are already swirling that we might move the pick, however, BC has said that we're not 'actively shopping' the pick. But we can't trust that snaky bastard anyway.

Chad Ford has us taking Waiters.

NBAdraft.net has us taking Jeremy Lamb.

Hoopshype has us taking Lamb too.

Draftexpress has us taking Lamb three.

I would be fine with Beal or Jeremy Lamb. We should still be starting DeMar and James Johnson since I don't think DD has the size to play the 3. imo DeRozan hasn't done enough to warrant the status of being our SG for the future. If Beal or Lamb outplays him we could always explore trade opportunities with DD. If those 2 can't outplay Demar then they shouldn't be starting anyway. We can use either one in the Barbosa role.

Damian Lillard if he falls to 8 could work too. Bayless is too fragile and Jose is Jose. The PG crop is slim this year but Lillard could be decent.

No love for Perry Jones?

**RollWithEm** · 06-01-2012, 05:33 AM

I think I like Lillard better than Lamb or Waiters. He would be my best available for the Raptors unless MKG or Harrison Barnes somehow falls that far.

**ballocks** · 06-01-2012, 08:13 AM

damn.

peace

Perry Jones seems to have a lot of Charlie Villanueva in him and I don't know if that's such a good thing.

I would've drafted Igoudala but I also would've drafted Adam Morrison. I'm going to abstain from picking a pony this time around.

Lillard is too much like Bayless.

That said, his defensive instincts seem on a higher level and that's the one thing Jerryd misses so I'd love to snatch him up, then fire Bayless/Calderon + Ed Davis to Houston for Lowry + 16th pick. Then we could pick up Waiters (or whoever falls).

That would be a good way to add talent.

With the 8th pick the Toronto Raptors select Perry Jones Forward Baylor
6"10 220 kinda of a hybrid with his size, has the shooting range to the 3 and is said by some to be one of the better perimeter defenders. James Johnson is a good defender but very raw offense, Jones was a 14/5 guy this past year and is only 20, with polishing and about 20 LBS added he could in 2 years be almost good as Durant a middle class person's Durant or a rich man's AK 47.

Do not want Waiters. Seems like a tweener.

If Perry can translate to an NBA 3, then I'm kinda digging the huge front court of Jones III/Bargnani/Valanciunas.

If we could then move Amir + Jose for Lowry + 16th we get a starting PG and another pick to throw on the SG that drops.

Lowry/Bayless
DeRozan/Austin Rivers
Perry Jones III/James Johnson
Bargnani/Ed Davis
Jonas Valanciunas/Mags/Gray

I really should be our GM.

**Porn Player** · 06-03-2012, 03:56 AM

I also like Lamb, seems to have a bit of everything and his game should transition to the NBA quickly.

**RollWithEm** · 06-03-2012, 05:21 AM

People everywhere other than Houston really value Lowry too lowly.

**Porn Player** · 06-03-2012, 06:26 AM

Amir and Jose are both good players. Don't forget Lowry doesn't want to stay in Houston.

That is what I've been thinking. I feel like it's pretty wishful thinking to think we could get him without coughing up the eighth.
