    Not picking a player because you already have another at the same position is just idiotic! If anything The blazers should know this better then anyone. Michael/Clyde I would of picked Sullinger or Perry Jones at 11.

    "Sure, Mr. Allen...I know his back and injury history has posted red flags all over the place, causing him to drop 15 spots...but we NEED to spend the 11th pick on him"

    Because I think they were some of the best players by far in that entire draft. That's all it comes down to. Who are the best players. Fuck projects. How many of those work?

    "Ironic" is not an insult. You're welcome to place any poster on ignore. As it is, it's not even worth a kiss-your-sister Double Technical.

    The payoff is worth the gamble. It's not like a top 5 pick anyways.

    If I may? All he did was point out the irony in the phrase "more then educated..."

    Oh, I get it, you think we could have or should have traded down to 21 and 28 to get both those players?

    I still like what we have at 11.

    So Henson, Harkless, Zeller and Nicholson aren't project big men, but Leonard is. They are "some of the best players", in your view. Not sure I can agree with that.

    Considering the results, the last time we drafted an Ohio State big man with an injury history and mismatched legs, you and I both know that there was no way Sullinger was coming to Portland. There's definitely an argument to be made for PJ3, if one subscribes to the "swing for the fences" school of drafting, which I do. However, that same school of thought supports picking Leonard as well. In fact, the arguments against Leonard and Jones are very similar. It seems hypocritical that you would decry the Leonard pick as unintelligent, but simultaneously advocate for picking a player with similar (but more glaring) question marks.
