    If you prowl enough mock drafts on the internet, it is amazing what you will find.

    One site, I believe it is called "Hoopsworld", had a great prediction for the Blazers. Did you know the Blazers traded up in round 2 so they could draft "Tiny" Gallon?

    Never heard of him? I sure hadn't. He is listed as 6'8" (or maybe 6'9"). He played last season at 320lbs - but he buckled down and "only" weighed 302 for try-outs. He is described as a potentially good defensive rebounder, with the offensive game of a SF.

    A 300+lbs SF? No wonder KP invested $2 Million of PA's money to move up. Especially since most mocks predict he won't be drafted at all!

    I guess the Vulcans and Woj aren't the only KP critics. :lol: I want some of what these dingbats are smoking!

    hoopsworld has about as much credibility as kingspeed's "sources"

    He's huge but I'm sick of face-up PFs.

    Tiny Gallon had a better body fat % at the combine than Cousins.

    Actually he is going to be drafted in the 2nd round, I don't know where you saw him being undrafted, but I have seen him pegged as being a 2nd rounder on most draft sites....

    As for POR, they are looking for a physical 4, which he is...so I think it makes sense...Samardo Samuels could possibly be another player they take...but I think both are fall back options, if they can't secure another 1st rounder....
