    There are a lot of big men in the lottery range this year.

    In DraftExpress' mock every pick from 7 to 14 is a PF or a C.

    Goes without saying a lot of people are going to start linking us to Donatas Motiejunas from Benetton Treviso.

    Who are we going to take?

    Lol God help us if we pick Donatas Motiejunas. I've been hearing a lot about Orton but his stats were pretty garbage probably cause he played behind Cousins. Why is this guy getting so much praise?

    Sick sig, My buddy was trying that to and he said he got the Raptors winning the lottery once ahaha. Nice job though.

    Also, if we take Donatas Motiejunas I think BC is taking meth.

    Whiteside is looking like someone we might take, but I'm also an Xavier Henry fan. Either would be good.

    Pat Patterson or Avery Bradley are the two guys I am hoping the Raps could get. Whiteside could be interesting playing alongside Bargs. Of course I assuming Bosh doesn't stay with the Raps.

    What's with Bradley all of a sudden? He is small.

    From everything I've read about him, what I like most is that it all mentions that he can play D and the Raps really need that. The other things that I've read about him makes me think of TJ Ford, which is meh.

    Avery Bradley, kid is the perfect guard to defend point guards, especially with Rondo, Harris and Holliday in our division.

    This is all assuming Calderon should be traded.

    so the latest mock on nbadraft.net has Cole Aldrich falling to the Raps at 13th. Assuming they don't S&T for Bynum I think that would be a solid big man pick for the Raps, Aldrich can rebound and block shots which is pretty much what they need from a big.

    Aldrich has one massive issue and that is his lack of ability to get to a spot in the paint. However, his offensive game is better than he is given credit for and his defense is great. I see many benefits to the pick. Another thing I should add, if you have never seen Cole play go look up video of him and his jump shot, it's nuts. The amount of lane violations he forced were sick.

    we need to go big with this pick and im apprehensive about trading this pick because BC's pro scouting has been repugnant of late
