The Star - Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo, in a telephone interview with the Star yesterday, said there could be players in the draft to help put Toronto on the road to contention. "But we could use our pick to leverage a deal to get veteran help right away," he said.
"There's no shortage of good, young talent" on the Raptors' roster, he said. "Another young guy with no experience may not be the best thing for this team."
Mike James is one veteran who may not be back with the club next season.
"We'll have to look at ways to cover that hole (in the roster) if it becomes a hole," Colangelo said.
"You can certainly look at the point guard spot and say, `that's a need' for Toronto.
