GM Babcock is butchering the Raptors...

This team is basically made up of Jalen Rose, and a budding superstar in
Chris Bosh... Babcock is on the hotseat bigtime after getting absolutely
nothing back in the Vince Carter trade, and after drafting Rafael Araujo
8th overall in the first round last year which turned out to be a bust so
far.. So how does he top it off this year under all the pressure of
needing to come through bigtime, he selects Charlie Villanueva 7th overall
in the first round to the absolute shock of all the analysts and many
fans...Villanueva was pegged to go somewhere in the late teens but
apparently not in Babcock's mind... their second pick in the first round
Joey Graham for Ok.St. made a little more sense..

    Villanueva is sooooo soft. The guy has absolutely no work ethic. He played
    at Newtown H.S. in Queens NY, so I seen him play a few times. He thinks
    everything is a joke. He'd rather hang out and try to pick up girls then
    work on his game.

    when the espn panel is talking about how soft he is and his lack of work
    ethic right after he was drafted,, that says something,, no way he should
    of gone 7th overall in this deep draft,, at least attempt to get him with
    the 16 pick or trade down your 7th pick to 13 or 14... I think they are
    gonna regret bigtime not taking Granger, May or Diogu... I think he really
    choked on this one but I guess time will tell

    of the Knicks taking Lee with the 30th pick? I wanted the high school kid
    Ellis.

    living out west,, didn't get to see Lee play a whole lot,, I tell ya what
    though, I like that trade a lot for the Knicks picking up Q Rich and Nate
    the Great,, that will make for an entertaining quick team.
