    • Analysis:

    After a surprising 2006-07 campaign, the Raptors took a step back in 2007-08. With a point guard controversy and a disappointing second season from 2006 No. 1 pick, Andrea Bargnani, Toronto lost 17 of its final 26 regular season games before being quickly eliminated by the Magic in the First Round of the Playoffs.

    Looking forward, Chris Bosh needs more help, especially if Bargnani continues to be inconsistent. Bryan Colangelo may try to use T.J. Ford to acquire a scoring small forward.

    From The Media:

    "But whatever decision he makes with that pick will affect some long-term moves. If, for example, he finds a swingman he projects as a starter after one season coming off the bench, it could have an impact on future contract negotiations with free agents this summer or with, for example, Anthony Parker when his contract runs out at the end of the 2008-09 season.

    "If Colangelo decides to take a big man with the draft pick, he might feel comfortable trying to trade Rasho Nesterovic during the season if he sees the rookie developing."
    -- Doug Smith, Toronto Star
