Ill be shocked if Aldridge isn't the pick provided the Raptors dont trade down

Unfortunately, it sounds as if the Raptors are going to pick Bargnani.

Yay, another white stiff.

Are Nash, Ginoboli and Nowitzki stiffs? Don't knock it dude, the NBA is becoming the most internationally diverse big-time sport in the US.

Plus this could help to finally get the lone Canadian franchise into the playoffs.

I wish the odds were better, but I'm dropping 10K on the Italian.

No but the majority of these European 'finds' have been. He bears a striking resemblance to Darko..........lol

Aldridge will be a star in this league. If they pass on him they deserve to lose.

He would be my pick but recent Toronto draft picks do not exactly have my confidence up. Colangelo obviously has a hell of a lot more credibility but he's scaring me with his praise for Azzuri boy.

It's a tough year. Maybe I'm just biased against the next great Euro player, but I see bust written all over the guy. Everyone is touting the 50% 3 percentage. But from what I have seen (and admittedly it isnt that much) he seems to play soft.

I like Thomas a lot. He just needs time, but probably has the most upisde. He'll be a stud
