Re: 5-0 ! Never too early to start talking draft picks
Yeah I love that Bargnani pick, we get the spot of whoever has a better record of Denver and Knicks.
They both could finish bottom 4-8, and we know the raps tend not to have any higher a 1st rounder when it's their own pick anyways

Poeltl is Austrian actually.
Re: 5-0 ! Never too early to start talking draft picks
Just noted some clips on a couple of guys I hope the Raps get a"good look at" come draft time.
1) Demetrius Jackson the heir apparent as a Notre Dame PG ... ND should get some press coverage in Toronto .. have to look for more highlights on the Utube.
2) Stephen Zimmerman from UNLV program. Note sure he will declare depending on depth of draft but 7 foot stretch bigs are all the rage right now so he should find himself in 1st round demand if he does declare.
Or maybe just draft for blood lines...
Sabonis and Gary Paton 2nd :cheers:
Re: 5-0 ! Never too early to start talking draft picks
Raptors will own the lower valued pick of Denver/Knicks this year as well, so it's likely that along with their own pick, there could be a top 10 pick, or at least a late lottery pick.
Targets that could fit this roster:
Late Lottery: Ivan Rabb, Justin Jackson, Domantas Sabonis, Furkan Korkmaz.
Raptors Pick (early 20s?): Stephen Zimmerman, Caris Lavert, Buddy Hield, Tim Quarterman.
Personally, if all those names were available, I'd select Ivan Rabb and then see who the best shooter is left from the 20s.
Or perhaps trade both and get into the top 5 for a chance at Jaylen Brown or Brandon Ingram.

:cheers: we can dream...
I don't think 7 & 20 = 1 or 2 but it depends on circumstances. Philly hardly needs more "1st rounders with potential". They probably need and impact kid and or a few vets.

You didn't actually say it but perhaps the raptors could combine picks (circa) 7, 20, Tross, Bruno and or some other pieces....
...for the 2nd overall pick of the 2007 draft
I'm dreaming I suppose...
