I imagine Kris Joseph will be a late 1st round pick when it's all said and done.

Guy fits in perfectly our system, IF drafted in the 2nd round.

You guys on this board need to stop sleeping on Teague and Rivers they can easily be our best player or second best player if drafted. Both can create their own shots which no one other than Bargnani and to be clutch and have good half court offense you need players who can create their own shots off the dribble whether pull up or penetrating. Both players are really good at penetrating especially Rivers who also a good shooter. I think personally if Westbrook can be a point Rivers can or if E Gordon can be a shooting guard he can so either way it's what role you put him in.

Picture this for next year Raptors Lineup:
Raps draft Barnes with their pick
Trade DeRozan for pick 6-11
Trade Davis for pick 8-16
Draft any two of Gilchrist, Beal, PJ3, T.Jones, Kabongo, Leonard, Teague, or Rivers
Amnesty Calderon
Sign Mayo three years 7 Mil
Sign Steve Nash to Mentor youth 8 Mil
Sign Asik 6 Mil or 7 Mil
2012 Lineup
Rivers or Kabongo or Teague/Nash/Bayless
Gilchrist or Beal/Oj Mayo(sign for about 7 Mil)/Bayless
Barnes/JJ/Kleiza
Bargnani/Amir Johnson
Jonas/Asik

Defenitely contending team a lot of capspace also so we can either make a trade and take on a superstar or run with this young team and gain more experience and get better as a unit. Casey would defenitely make this the team he's looking to.

The topic is Trey Burke, the Michigan freshman point guard.

Who's seen him play recently? I confess I haven't. But there is buzz starting.

Burke was a highly touted local prospect, but he wasn't expected to do so well this quickly so he's not in any 2012 mock drafts I've looked up.

I have no indication if he's interested in coming out as one-and-done, and Jonathan Givony admits they have no idea yet where to slot him in this year's mock. They are watching what he does from here on in and presumably working their NBA contacts.

Could he be the ultimate long-shot answer at PG, maybe by dealing Ed Davis for a second pick? I don't think he's a lottery candidate yet, but give me your opinion of his game.

I saw the Spartans/Wolverines 2nd half. Trey Burke was very smooth and efficient.

I think I prefer Damian Lillard from what I've seen. Burke's size worries me at the next level.

i was watching lebron/kobe too but the 10 points lead ain't fun to watch i want tight game. Nah, same old UNC dominating. Barnes only took one shot (missed the 3) but so far so good, hes rebounding.

STRONG move off the dribble by Barnes.

This is our guy folks.

fredericklove · Post #254 » by **fredericklove** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 2:28 am

Damn idk how Barnes missed that drive before that, the ball didn't like him! But good strong move after tho.

Hokies are going off from downtown.

UNC at times really suck on defense, they never close out the shooters.

Mr.Raptorsingh · Post #258 » by **Mr.Raptorsingh** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 2:42 am

Barnes with another take to the basket.

Post #259 » by **Undefeated** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 2:43 am

Another strong dribble-drive by Barnes drawing the foul. Barnes looking really good putting the ball on the floor tonight getting to the hole...

I think he's ready to contribute to our team right off the bat, if that's what we're looking for out of our pick.

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