    I have as always been a fan of 6'7" to 6'9" guys in the late first or second round with high motors.

    Not sure who that is this year, but last year Jordan Bell was a guy I was begging the Blazers to draft.

    Jarred Vanderbilt, maybe? Or perhaps Raymond Spalding.

    Love Vanderbilt

    Also like Bates-Diop

    Would love guys like this flying all over the floor defending multiple positions

    as opposed to a second rd steal maybe we should try to bargain basement shop for a backup C like Noel or Okafor? both these guys may be very cheap in a glutted C market, given a 1 or 2 yr deal to try to rebuild value, would not be surprised if GS tries to sigh Noel for cheap and he goes there to win and rebuild value

    I like Noel a lot, as long as he's not negatively impacting the locker room. On court, I think he offers more than Davis does. Off court, however, Davis is vastly superior.

    agree, but hopefully we would have enough leadership in Dame and CJ (I think we do) to not have any locker room issues
