Last night, the Toronto Raptors secured the 1st pick in the 2006 NBA draft. Now, while I wholeheartedly believe that college hoops are SOOOOOO much more fun to watch, I like to have fun with trying to predict where some of these players that I have watched over the last couple of years will go. It is also interesting to see if you favorite team can fill some needs and get back to the playoffs or even to the Championship (A quick thank you to the Mavericks for ridding us of the boredom of watching Tim Duncan whine his way to another title!)
Anyway, who will it be? Who will go #1?!?
LaMarcus Aldridge?
Tyrus Thomas?
Adam Morrison?
Or Andrea Bargnani from Italy?!?
The concensus (today) is that the Raptors will go with Bargnani because their GM, Brian Colangelo, knows him well and would feel comfortable with taking the risk-seeing that Bargnani could be the next Dirk Nowitski.
I want to know what you think! THINK YOU KNOW COLLEGE BASKETBALL?!? Go to ESPN.com and try their DRAFT MACHINE to see how you stack up against the experts.
You can also see how I did by going here.
GOOD LUCK AND LET THE TRASH TALKING DEBATE BEGIN!!!

this is the weakest crop of players since Kwame Brown was taken. Next year Gred Odom is the real prize and I would trade my first round pick this year and try to move up in next year's draft. Tyrus Thompson is no better than stromile swift. And that kid from Italy could be just as bad as Darko. Really the whole draft is full of bums.
