KG never played SF tho...I rather AD plays the 4...its more fun that way with him and Jonas as big duos.

I know its been a while but he most certainly did for the t-wolves

Alright, If the Raptors we're to land Top 1-2 pick. Who do you take?

Anthony Davis - PF - ?
Andre Drummond - PF-C
Harrison Barnes - SF
Jeremy Lamb - SG-SF

The thing with this draft is we can't afford to be wrong in our choice. I'd hate to miss out on that "one" positional star.

I would hope that Drummond wins this poll as he without a doubt has the most potential. Personally I think a front court of Drummond and Valanciunas would be among the most feared frontcourts of the nba....As this guy gets used to playing against bigger post players and facing teams that actually pose a threat (unlike highschool) he will continue to get better.

IMO he is one of the few prospects that will positively impact our team in a big way.

IMO Davis is a 4. Best way to utilize his talent.

One of Davis, Drummond and Perry Jones would be my pick.

Ouch, Forgot about Perry. But would you select Perry ahead of Harrison?

Not disagreeing with that at all. I was just saying that he could play some minutes at the 3 when we go zone.

My current rankings for the Raptors
1. Anthony davis
2. Drummond
3. Miller
4. Barnes

Perry Jones is a tweener. Another Marvin Williams, wouldn't take him

Some say Harrison Barnes is another Marvin Williams or Luol Deng type of player. Agreed Perry is a "Tweener". But he has the make-up of a star, despite his lack motivation. I'd love to see him play SF/PF.

Los Manos · Post #18 » by **Los Manos** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 2:32 am

Does Perry Jones have enough between the ears to make the most of his elite physical talents? Scouts have remained sceptical and his bust potential is so high. For that reason I'd take Barnes over him everytime.

My draft board today looks like this:

1. Davis
2. Drummond
3. Barnes
4. Gilchrist
5. Lamb
6. Miller
7. Rivers
8. Sullinger
9. Jones III

Totally agree

Jones looks like a power forward and I truly believe that's his best position at the next level, for that reason I'd go with Barnes over him. Barnes seems to play a lot like Demar with much better range and defensive potential. I wouldn't be mad at that, after seeing Miller look troublesome on D.

Who do you want the Raptors to draft in the 2012 NBA Draft?
