Dawn of a new Toronto Raptors era

This Thursday, the Raptors will begin the post-Bosh era by drafting with the 13th overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. A lot of people are suggesting the Raptors to take a big man to replace Bosh, but my thinking is, if a pretty good PF named Chris Bosh couldn't take us past the 1st round of the playoffs, how would another PF or C do it? I say we need to start off fresh by picking a swingman because we all know that a NBA championship team needs a good SG/SF to lead the team. Given the fact that we have the 13th overall pick and not a top-10 pick, it'll be hard to pick an impact player like Evan Turner. That is why I'm going to take a risk and suggest the Raptors to select...

SF Paul George from Fresno State, Sophomore (20 year old), 6-8, 215 lbs.

He's athletic, can play all 3 perimeter positions, has huge upside (potential to be a star), and averaged 16.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.2 steals while making 90.6 percent of his free throws as a sophomore. Sources say he's like a Tracy McGrady in the making. If that's the case, we can pair him up with DeMar DeRozan and begin the rebuilding process.

We'll see who Toronto picks at #13, but I really do hope we select Paul George. I just have a feeling he'll be pretty good in a few years...
