Exclusive Official 2020 Draft Thread

Any noise on Tres Tinkle? He has a solid swing game and can shoot.

 

I read somewhere where he has a commitment from a team in the late first. Boston, Toronto & Utah were mentioned as possible teams.

 

He has a lot of Fred VanVleet in his game coming into the NBA. Whether he gets there would be worth a pick compared to some of the other PGs outside of the elite guys.

 

Danny Green off to Philly. Didn't stay long in OKC.

 

...OKC with an INSANE amount of picks the next 6 seasons.

 

This blue suit looks huge on Dwight Jaynes.

 

To each their own, I've stated several times now that I'm sure my perceived limitations of him would be minimized by a bench role. I just see a limited player and without much of a role on this team. I'd prefer Neil swing for the fences with our sole draft pick and sign a backup PG that can be counted on reliably.

 

If the S&T with DAL/OKC comes off, the Thunder will have picks #18, 25,28 and 34. Guessing they will try to consolidate and move up or stack some for (more) the future.

 

Jaynes has lost his mind! He is touting Olshey's Draft skills (without mentioning Collins, Swanigan or basically any one since CJ) and now was just singing Hezonja's praises.

Kissing Neil's ass in the most profound of ways.

 

@TBpup - Have you heard any legitimate rumors about Portland for tonight? I'm expecting it to be a quiet night - but wanted to see if you thought there was anything to watch for.

 

I actually think the only thing Olshey does well is what he does with our picks. He gets us huge value with guys like PatCon, Layman, and most recently Gary. He takes swings at guys that make sense like Zach and Ant. That being said the best thing he does is cash picks in to upgrade existing roster spots like RoLo and what he just did with RoCo. You can't tell me that before seeing what we do with the 46th pick you can give Olshey an A for what he did with the 16th. That being said, fuck Olshey for not trading CJ... until the day he does.

 

Nothing substantial. Just a feeling that Portland will move up at least a little to get someone they have targeted. Neil likes to spend current and future Draft picks. That is just his history. Crabbe, Trent, etc.

 

I understand that about his role on the Blazers, although there isn’t a capable back-up PG off the bench. I felt your criticizing his conditioning as he has averaged 36 mpg his last three seasons was unwarranted, so I mentioned it. Seemed like an odd complaint for a guy who almost never leaves the court and produces at the end of games.

 

Agreed, all signs point toward Olshey trading up for Scrubb or someone on his radar and off of ours, unless of course he has a guy targeted that will be there at 46 but Neil is deliberate late in the draft.

 

Shit, I’d take Danny Green

 

If they can't turn that into at least one really useful player their front office dserve to be chased thru the streets by an angry mob!

 

Trading WHOM?

 

Future second rounders and other shit he always does to get into the top of the second or late first.

 

I actually hope Neil doesn’t trade up. I think there will be multiple good players at 46. But if he’s really sold on someone in the second, I won’t complain. He’s earned the benefit of the doubt.
