    If the blazers get exactly who they want with the six, I think they are allowed to reach on 11. And it may be that the reach turns out good or turns out ok or turns out not so good. But I view the second pick kind of as gravy.

    If that's "best case" no thanks, but I don't think that is a good best case

    Robbie Hummel is interesting. If he can be a poor man's Troy Murphy (or a Matt Bonner clone), that's 2nd-round useful.

    Source says UConn guard Jeremy Lamb will scratch Portland workout due to ankle injury in Toronto today, as noted by @DraftExpress

    His draft stock has to be dropping fast. Whether its his fault or not he seems to be doing just about everything wrong at this point

    ankle injury and his inability to name anyone on the roster. I'm sure he is talented, but I would sure like to see us pass on him.

    I was a big Jeremy Lamb supporter before the combine and workouts. Not so much now

    He came off as bright as a fucking rock during his interviews.

    Agree. Use the second lottery pick on a higher risk higher reward type player and use #6 for a low risk future NBA starter type pick.

    I'd rather have Nicholson than Moultrie if were looking for hybrid 4's.

    My only reasoning is that I think Moultrie has a chance to be a steal, where as Nicholson would be the more safe pick and probably be productive regardless

    It will be interesting to see how the vote goes on Ed's draft when it gets down to Drummond v. Lillard. Unless something odd happens it looks like that will be Portland's choice.

    Here is Andre Drummond's workout for the Kings. Looks like he changed his shot some. Although it's not up real high yet it seems higher and not quite as far away from his body.

    Wow, looks like he has worked on his shot. Looks like he has better touch than Oden. I don't see any reason he shouldn't be a better FT shooter with a bit of work.

    After watching that, I'm leaning toward Drummond over Lillard--who I like a lot.

    Ya, at this point any of Davis, Robinson, MKG, Beal, Barnes, Drummond or Lillard would be great

    Picking Lillard in the top-6 makes me nervous.

    He's not the BPA when we pick IMO.

    -Davis
    -Robinson
    -Beal
    -MKG
    -Drummond
    -Barnes

    Drummond or Barnes, both better prospects than Lillard, will be there at #6.

    It's hard to get a read on Lillard; he was very efficient but did it against inferior competition.

    Looking at his advanced numbers his stats are eerily close to another small-time college gunner: Norris Cole

    DL: 34.0 PER | NC: 30.0 PER
    DL: 63 TS% | NC: 56 TS%
    DL: 33.0 USG% | NC: 32.1 USG%
    DL: 7.3 WS | NC: 7.2 WS
    DL: 24.5 PPG | NC: 21.7 PPG

    I'd opt for Waiters before Lillard and our first pick is high for either IMO.
