It was Derozan in the lead all along, this is nothing new.

As much as I am not in favour of Derozan, I take him over johnson in a heartbeat, no question in my mind the guy raving about Johnson is Jim Kelly.

Holiday
Derozan
Johnson

Is my ranking of the three

Maybe my logic is too simple,

Double D has the means to play the 2/3, a pair of positions where we currently only have Quincy Douby under contract for.

With all things being equal, I think we take the guy who fits the roster.

It doesn't make sense to draft anyone else at 9 unless Evans or Harden are available.

I think the ultimate fear is DeRozan being picked before 9 and the guy that drops is Jordan Hill, d'oh.

I think BC would pick James Johnson before he picks Jordan Hill.

with all these heavy weight teams forming since the Allen/Garnet and Gasol trades, I think we should truly think long term

I still am a bit skeptical of Derozan

To anyone who's interested, DraftExpress just updated their mock draft with Derozan going #9.

If either of DeRozan or Holiday are available, you take DeRozan. Who cares if his shooting isn't that great, that can improve, and so will he over time, we need his future talent and he has great potential if he continues to work on his game.

I think Vince Carter has ruined fan expectations.
