Re: Blazers draft workouts...... They just happened to be in a lot of ISO's because Leonard couldn't guard Valanciunas ~ in both games. With the right coaches around him he could be good, otherwise you're taking a risk with a lotto pick on the second coming of Robert Swift.
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... Btw, who is running these workouts? The last few years wasn't Kanales the guy who ran pre-draft drills?
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... He's black! oh wait, that's the President. He's an easy target, and a scapegoat. Not that there aren't issues with him, or that he's not a bit smarmy.
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... Your own example disproves nothing. That was a pre-injury Sabonis. There's no reason to believe he wouldn't have continued to dominate Robinson otherwise.
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... I would imagine we could move our 11th pick for Collison in a second....so it's not exactly a compelling argument. That said, I DO like Collison, I just am hoping for someone with more upside in the lottery.
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... really? trade the 11th pick for soon to be 32 year old, never averaged over double figures, and averaged 4 ppg this last season Nick Collison? The Zombie Sonics would trip over themselves to trade for the 11th pick in the draft if it cost them Nick Collison. It wouldn't be hard to find someone with more "upside" in the lottery.
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... I don't think he was advocating trading the 11th pick for Collison..
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... Meyers only played 13 minutes, they played only once, and he only had 1 foul. Otherwise, spot on! Looks more like US went small, and won the game.
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... Even though it would be a bad trade, you're selling Collison way short. He's the ultimate glue guy that makes everyone around him better, and is definitely not someone to be judged by PPG.
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... I like that they have those two top 20 centers coming in on the same day. I'm assuming they will go head to head and I like that also; that they were both willing to do that. I don't like guys who shy away from that.
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... Agreed, that's why I prefaced it with "even though it would be a bad trade," haha.
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... A whole bunch of ugh.... Joseph is mildly intriguing ....I guess.... I wouldn't even consider drafting Zeller or Leonard at #11....but with Chad running the show and last year's pick of "let's draft a backup PG" Nolan Smith...Why am I not surprised??
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... Those 2 bigs are considered lottery picks this years people. I don't want 'em, but they will go early.
Re: Blazers draft workouts...... No white American centers in the lottery. You have to bring em in for a look though
Re: Trail Blazers Draft Central Chad Ford @chadfordinsider Truncated workout for Drummond. Coming off a bout of food poisoning. Nice guy. Working hard. Has crazy upside if he can put it all together Chad Ford @chadfordinsider Drummond has lost 22 pounds since ending the season. He's at 268 now. He's very quick laterally for a big guy. VERY QUICK Chad Ford @chadfordinsider Drummond working out with Idan Ravin, Aka "the Hoops Whisperer", in a private gym in Manhattan Chad Ford @chadfordinsider Next stop in the draft workout tour: NYC to see UConn's Andre Drummond
