    I saw this on other team forums and thought it was interesting. So Rank the Raptors players from best to worst. So I'll start and then the next person goes and so on.

    1. Chris Bosh: We all know he is the teams cornerstone and is a potential superstar.

    #2: T.J. Ford: He'll be the major playmaker and is fast and can score. There is a lot that depend on him

    Ummm, I can argue that Mo can be more valuable than TJ.

    3) Andrea Bargnani, we have to count on him if we are to fill in a spot for Charlie, he has to live up of being the first pick in the draft, that's why he's important to our team.

    ok how does Andrea at #3 make sense? If the #2 is Ford (which he shouldn't be) then it should be obvious that Mo Peterson is #3 (even though he should be #2).

    1. Chris Bosh - needs no explaination. Fav NBA player
    2. Morris Peterson - Raps OG. Still hitting his prime
    3. TJ Ford - already proved hes highly skilled, but with tons more potential
    4. Andrea Bargnani - saw video of this guy that amazed me. I think hes
    awsome and will live up to his draft spot
    5. Anthony Parker - I like what Ive seen and hes proved he can play at a
    high level. He's got needed experience as well.
    6. Fred Jones - Stepped up his game after the void left from the
    suspensions from the Pacers brawl. Also great to see another
    true swingman again since Vince.
    7. Rasho Nesterovic - Decent and badly needed Centre. Hey, he does well in
    my NBA 06 Raptors team.
    8. Pape Sow - exactly the mentality this franchise wants. Its so bad he hurt
    his neck/spine this year and likely wont play. He's unpolished,
    but waiting to shine.
    9. Joey Graham - Showed improvement and his very strong, but I hope can
    can step his game up
    10. Jose Calderon - we all know he can pass and dribble A+ - but cant shoot
    11.Jorge Garbajosa
    12.Uros Slokar
    13.P.J. Tucker
    14.Kris Humphries
    15. Darrick Martin

    Not sure if I totally agree with my own selection, I might change it later. But it seems good for now.

    same thing as above with the exceptions of:

    8. Joey Graham
    9. Jose Calderon
    10. Pape Sow

    I'm still not sold on Pape's ability to contribute very much whether he was injured or not.

    I like your list too, I don't like PG's so much, but I thin when we only have one real backup PG (Martin doesn't count) he's more important than the swingmen. I'm hoping a little more from Bargnani, but to be real I don't expect too much from him.

    I actually like Kris Humphries for us, I think he can be better than what most of us expect, same with Uros.

    thats the problem- there can't be much disagreement cause clearly there is a top 3 (bosh, ford, mo. pete) , and we don't expect much of anything from the rest.

    Some guy on realgm asked if "Derrick Murray" was going to be resigned and then the whole thing blew up. Now there's a bandwagon full of his fans...he's larger than life.
