Who would you like to see the Raptors sign/draft as STARTING PG for 2012

[Raptorboy]

yup. I don`t know anything about Kabongo but Davis has not been very impressive so far thus year.

*EDIT* Actually I see you meant career already. Sorry for that. I think I would tend to agree with you. 2009-10 seems to be exception and not the norm.

Haha.. and I agree he's definitely in a funk right now. His regular numbers are below average, but this season's numbers -- yikes! That seems to be the case though with a lot of guys this year. It's probably more to do with the lockout. Cross your fingers that DeRozan's falters has something to do with that too!

Ray Felton is a bad shooter, period.

Edit: that link doesn't seem to be working for me. All I did was pull up every active player in the NBA with 42% or less FG% and 32% or less 3P%. There were 6 guys, including Larry Hughes, Earl Watson, and Ray Felton.

He is in a funk this year. While he has never been a great shooter, he was not awful.

Felton is in a funk on his shot to start the year no doubt but he 'can't shoot' is not a good description of his true abilities.

The more I think about it the more Ed for Lowry makes sense

I would do that in a heartbeat, no questions asked.

The problem, I don't see Daryl Morey getting the phone down without laughing.

I think Lowry is on one of the best contracts in the league. Aaron Brooks leaving was the best thing for him and Houston..... too bad they hired Kevin McHale.

Houston also has Scola, Patterson, and Hill at PF with a big SF in Parsons.

Good to know about Brooks, I haven't really watched him play. I was only going by the stats. I'm not a fan of Westbrook. Horrible attitude for this team and Felton can;t shoot. We need someone that can hit 3's

Dragic is a poor man's Calderon. I'd pass on him unless he comes in as a rental (eg, 1 year). I see him as a backup PG, not a starter. I'd rather have Calderon for one last season than Dragic for multiple seasons, even though Calderon is older and would make more money.

No he's not. Have you ever seen him play? The only similarities are in their builds and skin colour.

Anyways:
1. Dragic is a much better defender than pre-Casey Calderon
2. Dragic looks for his own shot more, à la a shoot-first PG (but not quite a combo guard)
3. Dragic is taller
4. Dragic is craftier on drives to the hoop
5. Dragic turns the ball over a lot more.

IMO, this makes for a comparison to Chris Duhon better than Calderon.

[enlightenment]

Calderon is good enough to be a starting PG on a contending team. He is one of those players that can only enhance other players, therefor an allstar cast will benefit from having calderon playing at PG, rather than a westbrook or a felton.

i don't like brooks. changing bayless for another fast, shoot first pg is a lateral move. i'm a big felton fan though. i like his game and i think he wasn't treated fairly in minny.

i live in china and when brooks was on the rockets i saw him play a lot. thought he shot the rockets out of more games then helped them win.

dream wise RW would be awesome on the raps.

[Pele]

I think we should make a move on Aaron Brooks when he comes back from China. Calderon and him would be a good pair at PG. At 27 he is still young enough to grow with this team. Our major concern is solidifying the 3 spot, hopefully we can address that in the draft.

Val
Bargs
Barnes, Quincy Miller, Gilchrist
DeMar
Calderon or Brooks


Bench

Amir
Davis
Brooks or Calderon
Kleiza
Forbes

If DeMar can get back on track this looks like a playoff team in a couple years

I thinks you're in the right way of things. Nice, I don't see Bayless on the roster.

[Apollo]

Kemba Walker.

I'd love to see him make his way to Toronto. He's a winner and I love his guts and determination.

[mcHAPPY]

if deron williams is available. which i think he's a free agent this year. offer him the max and see what happens.

He is unrestricted as well.
