    What an amazing shooter. In the last 2 games he is 17/20 for 3 pointers. That's just nuts, even for college. He was 7 of 8 today and a lot of those shots were shots he created himself against a pretty good defensive team. He is a 4 year senior, 6'6" SG. Not sure if he is draft material (he doesn't show up in any mock drafts), but I think the Blazers could always use more shooting. His 3 pt. % this year is 49.4%, which is #5 in the NCAA, but his volume of 3 pointers is almost twice as much as most of the players ahead of him. If he has a good tournament, I think he has a good chance of catching the eye of scouts.

    Roy, Rudy, E. Williams, Wes Matthews.

    Don't think we need another SG.

    Seems like a solid undrafted free agent prospect. I saw today's game. He's is camped out right on the college line at 20'6" and is deadly from there. Does he have 23'6" range, though? He doesn't do anything else well except shoot, which I agree is a great skill. I just wonder if his range translates to the NBA where he doesn't have a Jared Sullinger attracting a bunch of collapsing defenders in a pure zone.

    The last player we drafted from Ohio State didn't turn out so well for us.
