My Draft Wishlist - Anything is possible!

This is a wish list that I have compiled for the upcoming draft. Now obviously only one thing could happen but here is my list, in order that I would like to see happen.

1. The Raptors trade up and pick Ricky Rubio. For anyone who has ever seen Rubio play, enough said. If you have not seen him play, you will be in for a treat. The things this guy can do with the basketball are incredible. He will completely turn around the team that picks him. If he drops of the top 3 picks Memphis and OKC will be kicking themselves in the nuts come season end.

2. Tyreke Evan slips down. This would improve the Raptors dramatically. Evans is a freak on the court. He would help the Raptors reach the playoffs again next year and be a compliment to Bosh. Though it is unlikely he will slip to the 9th pick, it would be a nice gift. I do believe we have a better chance at landing Evans then we do Harden.

3. Raptors trade the 9th pick for the 15th and 35th pick from Detroit. My favourite player in the draft is James Johnson from Wake Forest. He is a 6'9 SF and is just fun to watch. He reminds me a lot like Lamar Odom and Danny Granger. The potential on this guy is through the roof. He will one day be an all star in this league. He likely will drop to the 15th pick because he doesn't fit some teams need. Then with the 35th pick we could pick up someone like Josh Heytvelt or Danny Green. Either could potentially be good players in the league.

4. The Raptors draft DeRozan or Holiday. These two will likely be the two best SG's left when the Raptors come to pick. These two will probably be most likely to be picked but I like the scenarios above more.

Well if none of these ideologies happen we can always just draft Andy Rautins right? Haha

Cheers,
Dustin
