I have Barnes pretty low on my Raptors wish list at the moment. He has a pretty shot and from what I remember of him last season, he plays hard on defense. That being said, I don't see him being more than a very good role player at this point. That's just my opinion.
After Davis, I like MKG, Robinson, Drummond and Beal. I think MKG is going to be a damn good player. Probably a borderline all-star, but he could be even better than that. I can't think of the right comparison for him at the moment, but I guess a less athletic, but more skilled Gerald Wallace is fair. He's intense and if yesterday was any indication, he can get pretty hot at times on offense. Obviously, he defense is already exceptional and for someone his age it's extremely impressive. He's got a ton of potential.
Robinson would be great too. Seems like a less explosive Antonio Mcdyess. That's not a shot at Robinson's athleticism. Mcdyess was almost like another Shawn Kemp, so that's pretty elite territory for a power forward. I can't see us getting Robinson though, as Colangelo will never deal Bargnani. It's a strange love affair.
Beal seems solid and I'm all in favor of us having a guard who can actually create and wants to attack the rim at such a young age.
Lastly, there's Drummond. If we pick at 3 or 4 and he's on the board he has to be considered. He can already play solid defense and even if you don't want him, I'm sure there would be some solid offers for him for a team needing defensive help in the middle.
If we pick any of those 4 guys I'd be pretty happy with this draft.
