Something has to give now. Bargnani, Davis, Alabi, Evans and maybe Johnson? Bosh is done obviously. This seals it unless there is a huge trade brewing.

Davis is maybe a weak rotation player at this point.
I can see Bosh and Johnson returning and the Raptors keeping Davis and Alabi with Evans probably getting moved.
Even if Bosh doesn't return the Raptors will probably get a rotational big to replace him in a S&T unless Bosh just walks.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s

Alabi most likely headed for the D-League.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s

Good to see BC going after some defensive players, take some pressure off of Bargs. I can't see Evans staying with the team after this draft, we have too many guys that can come in and do what he does with more control. You've got to think his contract will be involved with some deal soon.

I am extreemly happy for Alabi, he will continue to improve in coming years. I believe his relationship with Masai Urji will ease his transition into the NBA game. I see a Mutombo/Olojuwan type here. (Going way over board here, but there's a point) Wouldnt it be nice if Olajuwon took this kid under his wing for a couple years? He can greatly benefit from this type of exposure.
All in all I am Very Pleased with this years draft.We all make mistakes... Tanking is not the answer.. This squad can ball! Let it roll!!

I don't know anything about this guy but Colangelo 2nd round picks in Toronto have never amounted to anything and judging by this pick its unlikely to do as well.
Its a late 2nd rounder which sounds to me more like a PR move rather then something substantial, I mean Nathan Jawai is probably a free agent today so maybe we should call him as well heh.

I personally don't think Alabi will amount to anything -- projects rarely do -- but there was at least talk about him going as high up as #20 to the Spurs or #21 to the Thunder. That's not something that can be said about Jawai, Tucker or Printezis. And had we traded for a late 1st round pick, we might have picked Alabi there anyway, so at least a lot of his risk has already been mitigated by where he ended up.

BTW guys, Alabi + Davis means nothing to Johnson and Bosh. Alabi won't be contributing for at least 2-3 years, and Davis could follow the same time frame (but contributing more, of course).

Alabi...
They were high on this guy before the draft. Apparently the revelation that he had Hep B is what drove his stock down. Pure reaction because with the proper medication, this wont effect his game at all. I think this could be a steal.
