10 pts 10 rebs 10 assists and 4 steals. Imagine if Cleveland picked this kid instead of Luke...

except toronto had to pick araujo.. they only have 2 decent big men in their squad (bosh and marshall) while they were at a log jam at the 2 and 3 spots.. araujo ain't bad at all, underrated passer and he knows his role on the team. had they drafted iguodala he would've been battling w/ a couple other guys on the squad for minutes

any white boy with a decent shot and a high verticle gets vastly overrated
Different positions
You don't select in the draft considering only positional needs, but actual talent. Everybody knew at draft day that Iggy was far more talented that the Brazilian. Toronto took a chance, and for the moment seem to have lost...
But they needed a big man, and they thought that Araujo was a deserving pick. Like j.23 said, if the Raptors drafted AI, he would be in the bench behind Rose and Carter.
Dont bag on Luke jackson.. that kid can shoot the lights out

Sometimes you must think ahead. If they had Iguodala in the roster then they could attempt to trade VC for a big man, and probably get better than Eric and Aaron Williams and a salary cap release for waiving Alonzo, for Pete's sake.Dont bag on Luke jackson.. that kid can shoot the lights out
For now, only in practice. Not even on NBA live
Its not like they knew for sure they were going to trade Carter at the time of the draft.

Besides, like you said, you have to think ahead. They thought "We got a nice backcourt (Carter, Rose and Alston) a promising post player (Bosh) and now we need a big man"
