We got the #3 pick. Discuss the possibilities.

lisfranc is usually a one time thing. A broken bone. Not as big a long term concern as some kind of muscle tear or back injury or something like that where it has the potential to linger.

 

Unless there is something wrong us fans don't know about, I'd do that in a second. He's a better player and fit on Portland then any of the 2023 prospects. Pretty sure OKC would only do it if they had serious concerns with him though as he really fills a need for them too. His addition should launch them into the mix of playoff teams and maybe even win a round

I agree. They are set at SF with Dort and PG with SGA

 

They're a talented but unconventional team. Giddey runs the point on offense, while Dort guards the toughest opponent 1-3 on the other end. SGA is their 2 guard and primary scoring threat while Williams is their jack of all trades 3. Chet projects to fill the void in the frontcourt. With all the upcoming draft capitol they've coming, they could be scary good in a couple years

Chet is not a proven player yet and that’s what the Blazers want.

 

Green font?

 

My brother went to SL last year and said Chet was clearly the best player there.

 

Thank God!

 

Hornets trying to bring back Scoot and Miller on Monday for meeting with MJ per Jake Fischer I believe

 

Yeppers. They agree with what some of us have said, and why Bridges to Portland isn't so farfetched. Not saying for sure it will happen. But those dealing in absolutes who said "No Way", will Brooklyn trade Bridges, might have to eat some crow.

Cool! I think since Scoot is the next great thing , he will be their pick.

 

Listening to “All Hornets Podcast: June 14th Episode”

Rafael Barlowe says OMax has been interviewing really well.

Makes an interesting, but obvious point, that interviews are kinda weird. Some prospects are really engaging and talkative and others aren’t. Compares it to interviewing Kawhi vs CJ. (Would you really take CJ over Kawhi because he doesn’t interview well? No.)

The Twins are the riskiest picks in the draft.

Says GG Jackson, Jarace Walker, and Brandon Miller have a lot more to their game that they weren’t able to show in college based on systems and how they were used.

Questions about Scoot: Only shot 40% as the PnR ballhandler, bottom 16th percentile at finishing in transition. Missed 6 of his 22 dunks this season. Questions his "elite finishing ability".

 

maybe I'm mis-reading but I think he might simply be defending Siakam as a player rather than saying the Blazers could get him without using the 3.

there has been a lot of dismissive chatter about Siakam among Blazer fans

 

OMax?

 

Olivier-Maxence Prosper. I was a big OMax fan, and in March hoping we can snag him at #43. Now, I am not sure he will even fall to #23.

He was by far the heartbeat of an overachieving (in regular season, in my view) Marquette squad and really has strong potential to be the best, athletic 3-D wing in this class.

 

Orgasmo Maxwell. He played professionally in the Philippines last year.

 

I'm assuming Oliver-Maxence Prosper who most mocks have going in the second round.

 

Godfather didn't give him any respect on the Radio. I was like , what, he's an All NBA player who is known for being a very good defender ,who can score and rebound. Some around this town seem to think the Godfather's word is gospel. Mostly the over 50 crowd, but some younger too. I love Rip City Radio, and Chad, but Jayne's takes on Dame, and potential additions is causing me ill health. He's paid for his opinion i know, but he comes off as very polarizing in his sports takes. They come off as almost political. And surprisingly un educated at times. I expect more from someone with his background.


I'm 59 with a Well Educated college grad daughter, and she educates me by calling out my B.S. Dad, you need to be better. She's right. I'm doubting that anyone, but maybe Chad , is doing that with Jaynes. Or maybe he's too far gone to care.
