I don't see the strategy of drafting Bargnani if you are the Raptors as they already have two Power Forwards in Bosh and Villenueva. Also the fact that this guy has bust written all over him and the one thing they can't take is another wasted draft pick.

Unless they want to trade Villenueva, which I sure hope they do, and think they can play Bosh at center and Bargnani at power forward, I don't see the point of choosing him.

I would go with Aldridge, who I doubt will be great but would be effective, or Gay who could be great and gives this team some athleticism that they really need.

But after a number of poor drafts in their history and a really poor team the Raptors really need to make a pick that will fit into their team and be able to contribute to them next season.
