My board would include (not in order):
Barnes
Beal
Lillard
Davis is only really in the discussion if we get the first overall so I dont really include him until we win the draft.
On the bubble:
Marshall - if has found a shot
Lamb - I keep thinking he will snap in two
For a later 1st pick:
Kabongo

Raptors flirting with a selecting in the bottom half othe top 10
The Raptors have 13 wins and are part of a four-way tie for 4th worst with New Jersey, Sacramento, and Detroit.
Directly ahead is Cleveland with 14 wins and Golden State and Milwaukee with 15 wins. Charlotte, New Orleans, and Washington are below with 5, 9, and 9 wins respectively.
The Raptors have 27 games remaining. Of those games 11 are against New Jersey, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Detroit, Charlotte, and Washington.
My point? When the ping pong balls are allocated the Raptors could be looking at having the 3rd pick or the 10th. This, of course, is without arguably their best player in Bargnani who is due to return soon.
The bottom of the standings are very much like the race for the playoffs in the west with 2 wins separating 3rd seed and 9th place.

My point? It's gonna be a real crap shoot to determine who is the best player available if you're not picking first.
I believe the team is better served by trying to win as many of the remaining games as possible and not worry at all about the ping pong balls.

Miller, Lamb, Beal, Barnes, Kidd-Gilchrist, Ross (not in order of preference).

As a confirmed hopeful of a bad record for the Raps but with a show of progress especially on the defensive side I must admit that lately I have been having second thoughts. The team plays so hard and the coach is so engaged in every game I am starting to feel guilty hoping for that "close loss". As with last night I want them to win the hard fought game. The team has actually exceeded my expectations. And this without Bargs for most of the season and a nodoubter as far as Iam concerned that BC rented many players precisely to have a bad year. Dont think even he figured he had hired a coach to lead the team in the manner he has so far. A quandary. The only way now that BC can "salvage" a high pick is to trade off some of the core players by the 15th.

I know it was mentioned before, but what would peoples thoughts be if we got, say 4th or 5th pick, and traded down to get both of Utahs? They will both be around 10 - 15 range. I saw some Jazz fans who wanted to do this as they already have a lot of young players.
Thoughts?
