    For an 8th-man, you want more?

    I see what you're saying, though...

    I mean, when you’re drafting in the 20s... go with guys you know can play at least one side of the floor very well. Biggie had good numbers but he doesn’t exactly have an nba body or modern skillset. Bell is basically all defense and a lob catcher, which is valuable in today’s nba.

    Cleveland and Houston were leaving him wide open like 10 feet away from the basket and he didn’t even have the confidence to put it up. That works on the warriors, and maybe he doesn’t have the green light to shoot those. Not sure if that works in a lot of places though.

    Yeah you said that last year yet most Oregon fans underestimated that whole group, and I don't see the majority jumping on the Brown band wagon this year either.

    Troy Brown does not have point guard skills and he has not proven he can shoot yet. But then again Dillon Brooks was limited as a shooter his first year in college too. Brown left too early to effectively evaluate his NBA potential. He is a gamble, but he certainly has potential because he has a great feel for the game and does a little of everything. I would not take him at 24, but depending how much that jump shot improves he could be a starter down the road.

    yep...and no one said his strength would be on the O side. But they never said about Ben Wallace either. I think its much easier to develop a good defender as a shooter than the O guy to D.

    A small forward with good ball handling skills, playmaking ability, decent but not great athleticism and complete lack of shot. Yeah I see the resemblance.

    Who’s the other one after Turner? Harkless and Aminu can actually shoot now.

    Evan Turner on a rookie contract, taken at #24 is a fucking steal.

    I like that Troy Brown knows himself. He compares himself to Andre Iguodala.

    Another Evan Turner type Player isn't the guy this Team need. Blazers need a Wing that can shot 3s

    No it's not. Even Turner shouldn't play a single minute.

    ET was the 2nd pick in the draft when Philly drafted him.

    Aaaaaaaaand? That doesn't mean he should play. He sucks. Should Anthony Bennett play just because he was the 1st Pick? The Pick selection mean shit

    Brad Stevens disagrees...praises ETs defense and leadership...he's a good piece coming off the bench with an Ed Davis by his side...Turner came here when Mason Plumlee was the center....then had to learn to play with Nurk….it's not like our roster has had a core with a strong identity for the last two seasons...only since last January did we start to resemble a team with an identity...credit Stotts for that as well.

    Anthony Bennett isn't on our team....given our roster, yeah ET is going to play and he doesn't suck, he's just overpaid ...I mentioned he was drafted at # 2 in reference to Brown at #24....neither player is a score first guy
