I would even be willing to give a lottery protected or top 20 protected pick this year to grab Kabongo. If he does well in the individual work outs go get him.

Kabongo won't contribute immediately and would be 3rd string. In fact, a bit of time in the D-League would probably be beneficial.
This assumes Calderon is still around and healthy and Dragic stayed healthy too.
Calderon only has 1 year left on his deal. Trade him sooner or later.
Sign Dragic for 4 years.
Kabongo would have 4 years on a rookie deal.
BOOM.

Meaning if the Raptors were in the playoffs and were 21 last or better they would get the pick.

I decided to go back and read through Chad Ford's analysis of Myck Kabongo. There is not much there, only a few entries, but the most recent entry speaks largely to Kabongo's draft stock.
"The Good: Kabongo is a pure playmaker who can make everyone around him better. He's quick and he has a pretty nice jump shot.
The Bad: Pure point guards need talent around them. Kabongo had a black hole -- J'Covan Brown and little else. He struggled in virtually every area as a freshman.
The Upside: Kabongo is a much better prospect than he showed as a freshman at Texas. It just wasn't a great fit for him this year after most of Texas' talent left for the NBA. His stock has slid considerably because of it, but it wouldn't take him long to rebuild faith in his skills. This is a very weak point guard draft, and Kabongo is one of the few point guards in the NCAA with the ability to make an impact at the next level."

It appears that there is potential for Myck to go much higher then what his season showed, as has already been discussed here. The nice thing is that the Raptors do have assets to gain a pick. We have our glut of PFs, a Bayless sign-and-trade (potentially), and the two second round picks.
I personally would love for the Raptors to take Kabongo and try to reach his high ceiling.
PG: Calderon (or someone else if he's amnestied)/Kabongo (while he develops)
SG: DeRozan/Forbes
SF: First Rounder (Kidd-Gilchrist/Barnes)/J. Johnson
PF: Bargnani/A. Johnson
C: Valanciunas/Gray
On this roster we would potentially have our PG of the future, our SG (if DeRozan can put it all together), a potential franchise SF (Kidd-Gilchrist), a match-up nightmare in Bargnani, and a potential franchise center. Not bad at all!

If the Raps can acquire him with a 20-plus pick, it will be a similar case of luck as experienced with JV i.e. circumstance leading to quality pick at a slot lower than real worth.
