This thread has been approved by Rhettmatic. So enjoy guys.

Irving, DWill and Kanter are likely to disappear in thin air by the time Raptors select their pick in this draft. So Raptors fans, who do you want the dino to select on June 23rd?

Brandon Knight

I see what you did with the Donut-ass picture! Anyways, that picture of Brandon Knight makes me want to pick him, lol. But using my gut, I'd pick Kemba Walker.

I don't have any preference to be honest, Colangelo can go with whoever he likes. This draft is bad enough that the pick may end up busting no matter who gets selected.

If he picks a bust he's gonna get flamed, even in a draft like this.

Donatas even looks like Bargnani :lol: i think the choice is pretty obvious...

if you thought Donut and Bargs on the perimeter was going to confuse offenses before, imagine the havoc they'd wreak knowing that they look like each other too....

Regardless, there may be no one around for him to pick that will actually be a good player in the NBA thats expected to be drafted around the #5 pick. I'm well aware fans would be asking for Bryan's head if the pick is a bust regardless of the quality of the draft. 6 years from now fans might be a little less hard on Colangelo (by which time he might be fired) if it turns out the entire draft was a dud.

Brandon Knight.

Though I won't be mad if we end up with Kemba Walker, Khawi Leonard, Bismack or Jan. It all depends on who the others draft.

Knight. Knight and Derozan backcourt is real good. Defense, size, desire.

I feel like Utah will take Knight. D-Will is too good for Minny to pass up or not trade and Kanter wouldn't fit in with the Jazz. That leaves Kanter/Val/Bis to the Cavs at 4 and Kemba/Val/Bis for us. Out of those 3 I'd lean Kemba, unless Val checks out as a potential force at the 5.

I think a good question to ask is, who is the better true pg, Walker or Knight?
