    Lakers would then say it was because of Kobe tutoring Tatum.

    because Chad Buchannen was the interim GM that landed that 6th pick in trade and the Portland scouting staff had long identified Dame as a top target months before Olshey was even hired. The Blazers had been in a desperate scramble to land a PGOTF for years, and the previous scouting staff thought that PG was Lillard

    both Chris Haynes and Jason Quick reported that Dame was very likely going to be the 6th pick and Olshey just rubber stamped it at the draft

    I was talking about this year's playoffs. You know, the topic of this thread. Zach didn't play, Little didn't play, Porter is

    What the hell else could I have been referring to? Of course you were talking about this year's playoffs. Little wasn't here for last year's playoffs... You left them out because they didn't fit your narrative of how bad Olshey has picked in the 1st round based on how those picks fared scoring-wise in this year's playoffs.

    LOL....as if Zach at 10 and Little at 24 reverses the narrative

    10 Zach Collins
    13 Donovan Mitchell
    14     Bam Adebayo
    19 John Collins
    22 Jarrett Allen
    23     OG Anunoby
    26     Caleb Swanigan
    27     Kyle Kuzma
    29     Derrick White
    30     Josh Hart
    45     Dillon Brooks

    yeah, that help's the "Olshey is a good drafter argument" a lot

    Bam named 2nd team all defense. My goodness you even get elite defense out of this guy

    Tell me again how the hell did Olshey grade Zach Collins over Bam?

    Funny thing is folks praise Zach for his defense lol WE COULD HAVE GOT ELITE DEFENSE FROM BAM!

    Looking at that Bucks team, their rotation 1 through 9......I think only one (2 if you count Ariza) player from the Blazers could replicate similar results on defense if we swapped them and that's Gary Trent.

    They may have too many defense only players though and not enough offensive creation.

    The 4th quarter always takes twice as long as other quarters. Please make some rule changes to fix this shit.
