I would be very happy with Davis/Bargs/Jonas trio;
Different player would compliment each other.
T. Chandler well JV will be a better player than Chandler with all his defensive skills and much more offense.

I can think of someone who comes close...

Sure, and that's why some "experts" believe we'd go with a three man big rotation which would be pretty deadly. Of course, there wouldn't a lot of minutes for other big men, especially if we bring back Aaron Gray to provde some "true seven footer" minutes.

That sort of rotation would only work in the short-run..maybe a year or two. All three guys are (or will be) too good to not start and play major minutes...

...one thing's for sure, Amir and Ed would be pissed.

Hypothetically if Wilson Chandler were to become a Raptor; what happens with the pick? Do we still go for a wing talent or does the focus change? Or is it just a BPA situation?

never liked the BPA idea, if you draft a guy into a bad situation he doesn't progress and slowly stops looking like BPA. It's not like scouts/gms are so fine-tuned they can really differentiate who the best player is anyways, it's still mostly guess-work. Rather take a guy they graded slightly worse but at a position of need

I'd trade down for the top PG whoever it is. Would still be kind of nice to get the best player in a draft at his position

Obviously it depends on what level the player is "better" by. If its a slight difference, but the positional need suits us then that's fine, but if its a bigger gap, ie. Araujo vs. Igoudala gap then you go BPA. period.

If Bargnani adds that wrong-foot jumper I'm going to win a pants-peeing contest somewhere, prize or no.

Exactly. This is why BC always talks about his tier drafting system. BPA, but within the same tier you can consider team need.

I'm sure every GM has tiers, in every sport, just think they overestimate themselves. I'd love to see an actual gm's big boards from the past, because I don't think they'd be very flattering. And I don't think their tiers would stand up well to hindsight. If the draft is what I think it is, mostly a coin flip amongst a mostly similar group of players, much rather take the one guy who best fits the team

also the araujo pick wasn't necessarily need, the entire team was a mess we needed everything

Whom do you want the Raptors to select in the 2012 NBA draft?
