    Gotta love our first round picks the last two years:

    Victor Claver: out of the country
    Elliott Williams: two knee surgeries
    Luke Babbitt: d-Leaguer

    Meanwhile, we could've had any of the following:

    Taj Gibson
    Omri Casspi
    Rodrigue Beaubois
    Jodie Meeks
    Dejaun Blair
    Trevor Booker
    Landry Fields

    All of whom could help our team.

    Landry fields isn't a good one to throw out there. He wasn't on ANYONES raider and no one but the knicks would have picked him.

    KP missed a hell of a lot more than he hit during the draft. With the exception of Batum, he is 0fer if you believe Patterson was the man behind the 06' draft

    I'd rather have him playing in the D League than sitting on the bench. I'm cool with this move, all things considered.

    Lots of guys have gone to the D league and turned out ok. Some have actually turned out pretty good. I think this provides the Blazers with multiple positives. First of all it allows them to see him play and evaluate. Secondly, it allows him to play and get experience. Thirdly, it allows other teams to see him and evaluate.

    It's not a bad thing at all, just wish he would have been able to help us this year, the way an injured Martell could have.

    As much as Babbit has been irrelevant so far, I think he's at least as good a gamble in the long term as Webster is (especially after undergoing back surgery).

    We'll see, though. Webster was coincidentally cleared for play just yesterday.

    He should've been. He was a damn good player at Stanford. He's turning out to be a good NBA players as well. A SG that threatens to grab 10 rebounds on any given night and solid D.

    Maybe Antoine Walker can give him a couple pointers on shooting the 3 ball.
