    The game was an aberration. He's will struggle mightily this year. You watch.

    Considering that CJ was drafted at 10... there's a lot of players that got picked after him.

    They did not all do well. It's like the media when they make 1 person seem like a million.

    Nothing to see here.

    Similar for McCollum, but he worked out. It was on this board pre-draft. Lillard and McCollum were texting each other, so a reporter asked McCollum if he wanted Portland to draft him. He said, "Not really." He wanted a clearer path to becoming a starter without Lillard blocking him.

    Why do you always have to come at me with sexual overtones?

    Cause you look like Jesse Ventura. Why would you wear a cone hat if you weren't sending a message?

    Oh shit. I'll put a few minutes into looking. That quote "Not really" was on this board and linked to an article. I'm not saying he refused a workout like the other player, just that he was hoping a different team would draft him.

    I'll look but I have no special searching skills.

    I'm pretty sure he said it in May before May 22. A commenter on Blazers Edge dated May 22 mentions that he saw it in a McCollum interview.

    Michael Carter-Williams is bringing the sixers back from being down 20 pts.

    And me. The Blazers could have drafted me but they didn't even ask me to be in the draft.

    So Carter Williams is already at the level of a Jordan/Paul/Durant?
