    Random comparisons about players that most have never watched much is weird to me. But in the spirit of draft talk, keep it coming.

    Sure I do, especially since he was a Sonic after Cleveland. He was so massive that it slowed him down. He could get light on his feet but not often. He would have been better at 40 pounds lighter.

    Re: NBA Draft Thread Vol. 2

    This is probably nothing, but I do find it interesting that there is no video posted by the Blazers on Norris Cole, yet there is on just about every other player. Coincidence? Just an omission? You can see him working out against Josh Selby in his video....

    Apparently Cole has looked good in workouts...

    Not sure I quite believe this yet, but Minnesota is apparently telling NBA teams that they are taking Enes Kanter #2 over Derrick Williams.

    Seeing as it's Minnesota asking, a PG or two should seal the deal.

    Canzano said that Faried is telling people that he wants to be a Blazers -- fits Nate McMillan's style perfectly.

    So he's good setting up in a corner and waiting for 20 seconds?

    So he's good at guarding point guards off switches?

    Re: NBA Draft Thread Vol. 2

    I like Faried, but is he really what this team needs? Another player who cannot create for himself and\or has offensive deficiencies?

    Isn't that POR BIGGEST problem right now? No one outside of Aldridge and a 1 out of every 4 or 5 games Roy who can consistently score?

    I know Nate loves defense and hustle, but somebody just MIGHT want to tell him that in order to WIN the game you have to outscore the opposing team.....

    Re: NBA Draft Thread Vol. 2

    You're better off trying to address that need via trades and free agency if you can. If Faried is the best talent left on the board when we pick, then that's the safe way to bet for a team that is all of sudden starting to look very old and very thin. Drafting for need in this situation will come back to haunt this team.
