Granger in a Raptors uni would be a good fit, he will probaly be there 1 or 2 opyion in the future depending on if Bosh succeds.
^ Well if he can be a 20 PPG+ scorer, he'll likely be the #1 option, or him and Bosh will share it, but the perimeter players normally get first dibs on shots over the big men for obvious reasons.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BlueBayou87:</div><div class="quote_post">Granger better than Rose?</div> Yes. Maybe not as good as him offensively, but he's definitely the better defensive player by far and better overall player.
agreed...he seems like he's an unselfish player and passes the ball unlike rose...who wants to be a pg who thinks shot first....
Somehow, I just can't see Granger being there at 7 given the buzz surrounding him and his workouts. I'm hopeful, but not expectant. I'm really hoping the Barneys can snag one of him, Diogu, or Jarrett Jack. Should they somehow wrangle 2 of the 3 in one fell swoop, then I would be in XTC Big night Tuesday, so get lots of rest Rob Babcock. If you blow it this year, we're coming for you Have fun...............
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Granger better than Rose?</div> Rose can't play defence, even with his 6'8 size and he has a tendency to jack up a lot of bad shots at the same time. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if he was released because of his gigantic contract. Rose may be one of my favourite players... But he is definitely not worth his money and I definitely would definitely want Granger on my team rather than Rose.
I think Rose would start over Granger though, you have to respect Jalen and wait until Granger proves himself worthy of starting if he should. Rose is still a wiley player and has a great fade-away post move that managed to make him the primary offense of the Raptors.

I'd much rather have Mo Pete start over Rose, because Mo brings the perimeter defense with ample athlecism and jumpshooting ability. As you may have witnessed last season, Rose brought so much offense off the bench that if he had come off the bench for the rest of the season he would've been the 6th man of the year with 20 ppg.
I'd rather have Rose off the bench because he can't play defense but can bring instant offense... HOWEVER What I want to do with Rose is dump his contract with the new CBA...
