i lol'ed forreal thinking about jamie foxx haha

I think GM's have a pretty accurate view of what he is or isn't capable of at the next level, and there are a few guys that have produced and/or shown the potential for much more than TJ.

I hope you're right, it's almost like a guy producing big in a contract year and then stinking it up once he gets paid.

Soft is not a word to explain Barnes. When talking about soft, no one is as soft as those glass knees of the one on your avatar.

Best Case: Andre Miller
Worst Case: Mark Jackson

Mark Jacksson is one of the greatest point guard in nba history and Andre Miller at best is decent starting point guard and pretty good role player ...

^ Thank you, so I'm not crazy!

Gotta check yourselves a few times, you never know.

I bet Harrison Barnes is in his room crying right now because the pressure is too much.

I wouldn't say Mark Jackson is one of the best ever, I'd say he was on the same level as Dre Miller talent-wise. Dude just had longevity.

He was pretty much an average-to-just-above-average PG his entire career. Prime Mark Jackson wouldn't even be a top 5 PG in today's league (or at anytime to be fair). Longevity was his greatest asset and that's not something people take into consideration when they make NBA comparisons for draft prospects.

If we dont get the first pick, draft MKG and call it a day.

MKG really loves that finger-roll.

Still think Barnes is going to be a player. He'll have to impress in workouts.

My Raps Big Board:

Anthony Davis
Bradley Beal
Jeremy Lamb/Harrison Barnes/Andre Drummond
Jeremy Lamb/Harrison Barnes/Andre Drummond
Jeremy Lamb/Harrison Barnes/Andre Drummond

Sleeper: Quincy Miller & Doron Lamb.

Lamb, Barnes and Drummond will all need to really be evaluated properly in workouts. For me, that would be make or break. The combine should definitely prove to be interesting as well. Now, assuming Robinson and MKG go in the Top 5 (which is very likely), we can end up with a pick between #4-#7 and still walk away with one of Barnes, Lamb or Drummond. I wouldn't mind drafting either of them but of course, the higher the pick, the better for us. We need to land the highest pick possible.

Miller still has a lot of potential and would be a great target for us outside the lottery. I got a lot of faith in him. Would be a great fit. Lamb is going to be a great player....I see a lot Afflalo in him..a better one. Can run the point a bit, shoot the lights out, slash to the rim..a great rotation guy and fringe starter. I hoping he slips in the second round or we package the second rounders to move up.

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