    I love tall, long playmakers. Walt Williams, Lamar Odom, Steve Smith, Ben Simmons…… bring this kid in!

    That's nothing - you'll never guess whose kid Scottie Pippen Jr is!

    I think you’re confusing Walt Williams with Scottie Pippen.

    I remember Walt as a strictly catch and shoot guy.

    Catch and shoot is not how you get the nickname "Wizard"

    Only if Scoot or Sharpe have popped. And even then we probably need another year.

    And we'll probably need to get Simons and Grant out of the way before either of those guys can pop.

    Son google him. Handles and dimes! Probably only averaged 3 assists a game, but they were smooth. Guy ran PG.

    Scottie Pippen once named the Wizard when he was asked to pick the player most similar to himself - true story!

    Webster was a reach and brutal when there was CP3 taken as well as Deron Williams. But you can't group the others with him.

    Outlaw was a great pick @ #23 and the key to the Blazers eventually acquiring Marcus Camby. Even after his Blazers career he signed a $35 million contract. Had some many helpful seasons as a Blazer being a key role player or occasional starter. No he never became a great starter as we had hoped but he far exceed the expected value of a late first round pick as is typical at #23.

    Telfair was taken at #13 and two years later the Blazers flipped him for the pick that became Brandon Roy at #6. So no that wasn't a reach at all, Blazers actually netted much more value in the deal.

    I'm ok with the Leonard pick (#11 is a lot different that #3). He had amazing shooting. The pick was fine. It wasn't a great pick but it wasn't terrible. The problem was 4 years later after he tore his elbow we gave him a 40 million contract in that stupid Olshey/Cronin 2016 offseason.

    The #3 pick used on Scoot was worth a TON and expected to be a HAUL. You can't compare it to any of the other mentioned Blazer picks except for the Webster pick, or Oden, or LMA.

    My favorite Trav play was a putback dunk on Philly I believe.
