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
guys lets just keep it going, and yes mo-pete is more valuable. so og15, fever explain even though we know, or keep it goin wit number 3.
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).
Why don't we just post our own list of the team and discuss is from there? Everyone has there own opinion.
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.
1. Chris Bosh 2. Morris Peterson 3. TJ Ford 4. Anthony Parker (hoping) 5. Fred Jones 6. Rasho Nesterovic 7. Andrea Bargnani 8. Joey Graham 9. Jose Calderon (he's our only backup PG) 10. Jorge Garjabosa 11. Kris Humphries (he's still only 21, wow) 12. Uros Slokar (I think he might actually be better than we think) 13. PJ Tucker 14. Pape Sow (injured right now) 15. Darrick Martin
(1) Chris Bosh (2) TJ Ford (his breakdown ability makes everyone else better) (3) mo. pete (defense + shooting, doesn't do much else) (4) fred jones (5) anthony parker (6) caledron (i like pg's) (7) garbosa (8) rasho (big, not much else) (9) joey g (10) kris humpries (11) bargnani (12) d. martin (vet. leadership) (13) pape sow (14) pj tucker (15) uros slokar
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.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">Hahaha, what in the world is that?</div> 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.
