Villanueva to the Raptors at No. 7? Rob Babcock's days as GM are
numbered, Tony Mejia says. Oh, and both of the Los Angeles teams are
equally as clueless.)

Toronto Raptors. Charlie Villanueva may eventually work out, but that
was the shock of the draft at No. 7. Joey Graham should work out at
No. 16, but Toronto has had a questionable history (just look at
Rafael Araujo!).)
http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/ (Bad Rap - The Raptors are,
evidently, gluttons for punishment. Last year, new GM Rob Babcock made
the most questionable pick of the top 10 by selecting Rafael Araujo, a
choice that had the folks on media row shrugging shoulder and giving
the pick consensus thumbs-down. This year, at No. 7, the Raptors
picked Charlie Villanueva, eliciting a "Here-we-go-again" response.)
http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/3726268 (Draft Losers - What a
disaster. They already have Chris Bosh, yet last year they took Rafael
Aruajo, who essentially plays the same position. Then last night they
took Charlie Villanueva, a guy who also plays the same position as
Bosh and Araujo. They came back strong with Joey Graham, but we still
can't get past the Charlie V. selection.)
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/draft?analysis=1 (Villanueva goes to
Toronto, giving the Raptors a versatile forward to go along with Chris
Bosh. This pick is a little strange considering the Raps need so much
that they would spend a pick on a position they really don't need.
Especially with so many players available.
