The 2009 NBA Draft Lottery just finished and the Toronto Raptors have been awarded that #9 spot.
Here were the results from tonight’s event:
| 1. | Los Angeles Clippers |
| 2. | Memphis Grizzlies |
| 3. | Oklahoma City Thunder |
| 4. | Sacramento Kings |
| 5. | Washington Wizards |
| 6. | Minnesota Timberwolves |
| 7. | Golden State Warriors |
| 8. | New York Knicks |
| 9. | Toronto Raptors |
| 10. | Milwaukee Bucks |
| 11. | New Jersey Nets |
| 12. | Charlotte Bobcats |
| 13. | Indiana Pacers |
| 14. | Phoenix Suns |
The Raptors draft history for the past 9-10 years has been spotty at best, with more duds than studs but if hindsight was 20/20, here’s what the draft picks should have looked like…
The Toronto Raptors select Tony Parker (Real Draft Position: 28th overall)
OR Gilbert Arenas (Real Draft Position: 2nd round, 31st overall)
OR Carlos Boozer (Real Draft Position: 2nd round, 34th overall)
The Toronto Raptors select Dwyane Wade (Real Draft Position: 5th overall)
The Toronto Raptors select Andre Iguodala (Real Draft Position: 9th overall)
The Toronto Raptors select Brandon Roy (Real Draft Position: 6th overall)
Any objections? Who would you have picked? And who do you see the Raptors selecting in this year’s draft?
