With the 27th pick in the 2016 NBA draft the Toronto Raptors select…

 I’ll go with Stephen Zimmerman here. Hes got some potential as stretch the floor big and shot blocker and shows a pretty good feel for the game. He could project as a decent back up big and offers a different look than valuncunias. He’ll probably be spending a lot of time in the d league initially but the raptors are in a position where they can afford to be patient with him.

caris levert.  this team can use some more scoring options off the bench.

This would be a nice landing spot for Brice Johnson, who can help their defensive rebounding and play the 5 in small ball lineups. I somewhat expect that Ujiri will prefer Diallo.

 The raptors won’t get Chriss there is no way he falls to 9 like voted on here, so depending on if they really like Ellenson or Poeltl at 9 assuming they are available my guess would be they will take Bembry or McCaw with this pick, however since neither are available here, I think they would most likely trade the pick.

Diallo

Cheick Diallo.

Biyombo may or may not be back next year, and Diallo offers similar upside. He needs refinement and bulk, but his energy and shot blocking should translate. The Raptors definitely lack athleticism on the front line, so coming away with Chriss and Diallo would be a nice step to address that. I’d say Zimmerman, Hernangomez, and Zubac are possibilities too.

 Draft and stash. Give him a year, especially if Raptors somehow keep Biyombo along with DeRozan

 Cheick Diallo. Athletic big that reminds me a little of Kenneth Faried whom Ujiri drafted in Denver and still covets.

Diallo for sure with this one

Cheick Diallo. Energy player to bring from the bench. Raw talent but with the correcto development could become a Kenneth Faried type of player

 Goring for Caris LeVert as they took a big a 9 and I like to balance out a team’s drafting.

 I don’t see any playing time for any wings with Ross and Powell on the bench. Ditto at PG with Corey Joseph. I’d take Jones hoping he can bring some of what they’re probably going to lose with Biyombo probably leaving in free agency.
