    Chad Ford talked about the accuracy of these this morning. Crowder measured a full inch taller at the combine than what he did in New Jersey. Waiters worked out for a few teams (Raptors/Blazers?) in Vegas before the combine and he was measured there a full 6'3" and change without shoes.

    Not like it matters all that much.

    MM, does Ford's latest mock on insider have any juicy Blazers' nuggets?

    Two GMs passing on him after the lottery? I wish we had another 20s pick to use on him. He has way too much value to be down that low.

    Freshman who dominate in their first year of college: LEARN FROM SULLINGER.

    He would have been a top-5, maybe top-3 pick last year.

    Ya, I posted it.

    No he would not have been. The only reason he is slipping is because of his health. They would have seen that last year as well, No?

    Olshey said decision to use both picks is reflection of offers received for the picks and how much Blazers value who they can get in draft

    His back issues didn't flair up until this year IIRC.

    Olshey also added, "Of course, I could go into my office and have three offers waiting ..." but as of today, he says Blazers will use picks

    #Blazers GM Neil Olshey said the team has agreed to a new multiyear contract with salary cap guru/scout Joe Cronin. Old deal expires 6/30.

    Good news IMO

    Olshey said weekend meeting with Joel Freeland went well and both sides expressed interest in him joining Blazers for upcoming season

    #Bucks have made draft-wk trades 4 yrs in a row. How about 5? GM John Hammond tells SN: "We’re anticipating that is not going to happen."

    I think Greg Oden is why Sullinger is dropping to the second round. Just like Oden would have dropped to the second round if we knew then what we know now.

    Continue to hear Jazz are open to moving into first round of #NBA draft, listening to offers, making calls, etc.

    Would you pick up Sullinger with a pick in the 20's?

    Would be intriguing....

    Lot of other guys I like around there too though...

    I'd seriously need two picks in the 20's before I take Sullinger with the latter of the two.

    Dan Woike: So Olshey is saying POR won't be dealing picks (as of now). Would he swap Wes Mathhews and No. 11 to LAC for Bledsoe and Gomes? Would LAC? 3 minutes ago

    My response: Uh, no. Why not? Well, he no longer works for the Clips. Dur.
