Transactions
-June 28/05: For the second year in a row, general manager Rob Babcock is all but vilified for his draft choices. With the 7th pick of the draft, the Raptors chose Connecticut forward Charlie Villaneuva, who most thought a second round choice at best. The choice is immediately panned by television experts, booed by Raptors season-ticket holders which the drama unfold in Toronto and pretty much dismissed as ludicrous in the press. Babcock, though called it a no-brainer. “Picking Charlie was not a difficult decision at all. Our staff was fully in support of taking Charlie at No. 7. I know that wasn’t a popular opinion on ESPN, but we’re concerned more with our opinion and our staff, which has a tremendous amount of expertise, from Wayne Embry, (a) Hall of Famer who played the centre position to Jack McCloskey, who won two world championships as a general manager, to all the rest of the guys on our staff. This was a collective decision and we felt we made the right choice for our basketball team.” Villaneuva averaged 13.6 ppg and 8.3 rpg as a power forward for the Huskies. With the 16th pick of the draft, the Raptors chose 6-7 Oklahoma State forward Joey Graham. With the 41st (second-round) pick of the draft, Toronto chose Croatian point guard Roko Ukic from KK Split in the Croatia and Adriatic League. With the 58th pick of the draft, the Raptors chose Slovenian forward Uros Slokar from P.A. Udine in the Italian League. Canadian-born Juan Mendez is so outraged that he is not selected by the Raptors with the 58th choice that he opts to go to Miami’s summer camp, rather than Toronto’s, because he felt that he was “dissed”. The Raptors also tender qualifying offers to Matt Bonner and Pape Sow to make them restricted free agents.

Season wrap
The Raptors finish a dismal 27-55. Although the disgruntled Alston is traded and Jose Calderon is signed, the Raptors lose their first nine games and 15 of their first 16. The Raptors are again a defensive nightmare. Babcock is fired as general manager. Chris Bosh is injured late in the year and the Raptors promptly lose 10 in a row. On the upside, Charlie Villanueva finishes second in the NBA rookie of the year vote and is chosen to the NBA rookie all-star first team. Late in the season, Bryan Colangelo, who a year earlier was named NBA executive of the year, is hired as President and General Manager.
