    Robinson is a bit taller and has an inch longer wingspan according to draftexpress. No reach measurement yet though

    I like. Lilllard's a baller. Jay Williams seems like a good comparison, minus the motorcycle accident.

    I've been watching a ton of Lillard. I'm sold. Lillard at 6 and Perry Jones at 11 and I think it's a successful draft. Jones is a huge upside guy, but just last year he was consensus #1 by all mocks. He's got great size, can handle the rock (the Blazers need badly) and he can still fill out. I think the fact he was on a pretty stacked Baylor team that played more team oriented ball hurt his stock. But, he still had good #'s despite the flack he's gotten.

    Watch that step back jumper at 2:43 and the crossover at 2:49. Those are NBA moves.

    If Perry Jones can put it all together he can be special. He has star written all over him. Unfortunately, I could see him just as easily be a bust. I think he and Drummond are the 2 biggest gambles of the lottery.

    But, he'll immediately give us length. Can't teach that.

    There are times when he looks like KD/Gay.

    There are nearly as many times when he looks like Luke Jackson.

    I think there are going to be a few gems found around our 11th pick. Guys like Moultrie, Jones III, Jones, etc. Who have sick skills but have been labeled lazy, or having an attitude, etc. If a team can dig in and find what motivates them or whatever they could get a huge steal

    Exactly why we need two chances to get one of them right.

    We likely all remember a 6'10" kid who slipped in the draft because people thought he had a bad attitude and questionable motor. Uncle Cliffy worked out pretty good for us. I can see some similarities with PJIII, although I think PJIII has more upside.

    Teams like Charlotte and SAC could have trouble bringing in talent for workouts, potentially putting us in an even better position heading into draft night.

    The Raptors are looking at wings and Moe Harkless is a darkhorse to be selected at #8.

    Ya, Harkless was someone I mentioned as a sleeper at 11

    I usually don't judge much off of highlight reels, but damn....Lillard is sick.

    Lillard's jumper is deadly.

    This team needs creators. Lillard can create.

    I too am sold on him being better than Marshall.

    Still not sure if I'd take him over the crop of SGs that are all in that same boat: Rivers/Beal/Lamb/etc. I'm weary of that weak conference thing.
