Ukic could be the steal of the draft at 41. Wow, that pick is as good as the eyebrowless one was bad(can be a great player, but the value is, err, questionable at 7).
After a few bouts of rage, I am VERY HAPPY with how things worked out for the Raptors. Likely playoff team(low seed) now, with these additions. First three picks will contribute immediately and add much needed talent and depth.
I'd call you an optimist, sir.
I thought the Raps pooch-screwed this draft in nearly every way, and the Ukic pick was the one thing that saved them from total disaster. Villanueva plays the exact same position as your best player. And he wasn't even the best player on the board at 7. Where on earth is Charlie Villanueva going to play? Can't put him at the 3, he doesn't have the ball-handling skills. Can't play him at the 5 unless he puts on about 40 pounds of muscle. Move Bosh to the 5? That'll go over real well with The Franchise.
Passing on Granger and Green for Graham was similarly foolish. Granger was a better player in every way. There was no excuse for taking Graham over him.
