With the 7th pick, the Raptors select...?   Message List

It depends on who's available.

What they know for sure: Andrew Bogut, Marvin Williams, Deron
Williams, and Chris Paul won't be available. Gerald Green has slipped
recently in some mock drafts, while Danny Granger has risen. Those two
are likely near the top of Babcock's shortlist. If they're taken, the
Raps could be in a bit of a bind.

I don't see Felton being taken. I think the team wants size and
defense at the PG spot (Jack and Ukic fit that bill at 16).

I think Graham's a reach at 7. He's a good defender, athletic and
strong, but he's undersized for a SF and has limited offensive game.

If Green or Granger aren't available, there's a strong possibility of
trading down. The Lakers, at 10, may want Channing Frye at 7, for
example. With the lower pick, Graham and Felton wouldn't be such a
reach and HS players like Andrew Bynum and Martell Webster would seem
less risky.

It's tough to call this year.

7th pick shortlist:
Green
Granger
Graham (a reach)

16th pick:
Bynum
Ukic
Jack

... Very reasonable. I guess we'll see tomorrow. I will say that I don't really want both Green and Bynum. Two highschool kids (and they ARE kids) at the same...

... One word: Amare. I'm not saying Bynum is the next Stoudemire, but if he has the dedication and the talent, then at 7'0, 280 lbs he could be something ...

NBAdraft.net has the Raps taking Webster at 7. I haven't read anything in the media boasting about his workout in Toronto, which leads me to think he's trade...
