    Let's see if this can get some conversation going in this place?

    Let's say Portland winds up with the 3rd pick in the 2013 draft. There are no injuries to speak of. Lillard. Leonard and Barton all meet and or exceed expectations. Zeller and Muhammad go 1-2. What do you do with the 3rd pick?

    God, could you imagine him and Meyers Leonard on the same team? That has to be Mike Rice's worst nightmare.

    No, the joke was that he'd interchange their first names with their last names. But they're 12% of Americans and he shouldn't be afraid of them.

    And because we'd have two bigs with their names backward.

    edit: what jlprk said.

    I'd take Noel if the draft was tomorrow, but would hope that someone like Goodwin blows up in college and puts his name in the mix for the top 5

    And you know they'll be off the board?

    I think some team will fall in love with Noel's "upside" and take him in the top-2.
