You know it happens every year. A player is selected with high praise and a couple years later fans are left wondering how did that other guy slip past them? Brook Lopez was passed over by the Bucks and Bobcats as they selected Joe Alexander and DJ Augustin respectively. Year before that the Bucks, T-Wolves and Bobcats all took a pass on Joakim Noah in favor of Yi Jianlian, Corey Brewer and Brandan Wirght. Year before that virtually everybody overlooked Paul Milsap. It's a common occurrence. Guys get missed, mistakes are made and a lot of these choices don't look like mistakes right away. Now I know most are going to argue that Ed Davis is going to turn out like one of these successful guys and I would tend to agree with that but let's pretend we can look into the future and let's look at who was selected after Ed Davis. Out of that group who do you feel has the potential to leave the Raptors' fans and other communities wondering "what if"?
For me, Eric Bledsoe is a guy who could have been used and who has a lot of talent but slipped some. I feel he could give a lot of teams after thought heart burn on the level of somewhere between Jameer Nelson and Rajon Rondo. He's the one guy in particular who I feel could turn out to be better than Ed Davis.
And again for the record, I don't feel anyone in Raptorsland will have buyers' remorse over Ed Davis.
