    I see him passing out of a lot of double-team in videos to open perimeter shooters, so clearly the opposition respected his post game to the point they were doubling him later in the season. The potential is apparent in him. Now it's up to the organization to get him the proper coaching, and Meyers to put in the necessary work. As posted previously, though, I don't think work ethic is going to be an issue for either of this year's draftees. It will be nice have a PG who puts in work over the summer and doesn't need a 1/4 season (or a full season, in Failton's case) to get into game shape.

    For real. He has almost as much potential as Drummond, and he's already more skilled. He may pout sometimes, but I'm certain he's going to give it his all.

    These 2 are worth repeating. I've read that he has shed tears after some losses, which makes me like him. There's gentleness under that military bearing.

    Most highlight films are 100% positive, but the last third of this displays his deficiencies.

    I think I was in the minority here last time this was discussed, but I really hope the team brings in a real big man as a big man coach.

    After watching the videos of Cooney, I see some good and some concerns as well. Hopefully he can be convinced to stop fading back on shots and STOP SWINGING AT BLOCKS

    I've flown NYC to PDX first-class, and it's not a huge stretch to get moved up. I'm absolutely positive that the agent could've ponied up 25,000 frequent flyer miles to get her an upgrade, or, worst-case, loan a brother $1K until you can take your 6% out of his contract to get her moved up. I'm 6'1 and it's tough to sit in coach unless I'm on the window.

    Considering how weak next year's class may be.... That ain't saying much.

    On a 200-seat airplane, 12 (or more) are in 1st. I'm a 6%er, at most, when it comes to flying. But I do fly a lot of miles.

    "Cooney" isn't doing it for me. (And I'm old enough to know who that is, LOL.)

    I'm probably going to go with "Leo" (saves me typing time) and "DL" for Lillard.

    Although "The Omen" is pretty awesome. From the first time I saw his name was Damian (hell, every time I see that name) I can only think of "The Omen".
