(Best E Casino) - The Toronto Raptors need to improve their frontcourt if they want to compete with the elite teams in the Eastern Conference. They have the 17th overall pick in this year's draft and should be looking to add a player who can help them in the interior.

All-Star Chris Bosh in one of the top power forwards in the league, and is the cornerstone of the franchise. The 24-year-old Bosh led the Raptors in scoring (22.3 ppg) and rebounding (8.7 rpg) this past season, while point guard Jose Calderon averaged a team-best 8.3 assists per game.

Twenty-eight-year-old Jamario Moon had a decent season and should see increased playing time in 2008-09, while Anthony Parker played in all 82 regular-season games and posted 12.5 points and 4.1 rebounds. Carlos Delfino was the only other Raptor to participate in every regular-season contest.

Forward Jason Kapono had a strong showing in Toronto's first round playoff loss to Orlando. The Raptors need more of the same from the three-point specialist during the regular season. Center Rasho Nesterovic is serviceable in the middle, but the Raptors could improve their situation at that spot.

The Raptors may look into trading former No. 1 overall pick Andrea Bargnani and point guard T.J Ford during the offseason. One of them could be used as trade bait to move Toronto up in the first round.

2007-08 Results: 41-41, lost to Orlando in first round of playoffs.
