    George Hill is not a starting PG.

    He's a scorer off the bench.

    Ariza is a harder pill to swallow for me because he's a dirty piece of shit.

    I'd agree, but it was on Rudy, so I understand it and appreciate it now.

    You like Waiters over Lillard? Or do you think Lillard is gone at 10?

    I don't think Lillard will be there at #10.

    I think I hold onto all three.

    #6 - Drummond
    #10 - Perry Jones
    #11 - Austin Rivers

    Or if Drummond doesn't fall to us, take Lillard at 6 and then maybe PJII at 10 and T Ross at 11? There would be so many possibilities.

    No he's not.. And he's not a terrible player either. Wouldn't mind taking him back.

    Lillard didn't play well against the better teams he faced (BYU, CAL, ASU, UNLV) and he is going to face far better talent than he did facing those teams....I think POR could do better by going the FA route to address PG...

    Yeah, I'd rather look at a vet PG, but keeping both picks.

    Dragic
    Waiters
    MKG
    Aldridge

    I like this core.

    So you're off the Marshall bandwagon?

    No but I've gotten the sense that they want a vet PG.

    Dragic seems like the best option. He's still young, he's dynamic, and he could be had for a reasonable price. I would love to see us get Lamb without having to pick him up at 6.

    Sullinger also has back problems already: "The one thing NBA teams will want to study intently is Sullinger's medical report, as he's been slowed this season by back spasms caused by an aggravated disc and plantar fasciitis, being forced to sit out two games in December.":

    No way would I take a chance.

    I would go for Okafor over Ariza (if Okafor is healthy); why go after someone we don't need when Okafor fills a big need. We could also throw in Kurt Thomas on that trade which should then leave plenty of cap space to sign Dragic.

    Don't think this has been posted yet but Damian Lillard's coach from Weber State is at the Chicago Pre-draft camp. He tells Andy Kats that Portland has been calling him a lot.

    Not sure they would pick him at 6 but if Olshey really wants this kid then they can move up from 11 to get him.

    St. Mary's made it past the 1st round of the tournament and he scored 36 on them. Against BYU he scored 15 points and had 10 rebounds, hardly a bad game. The UNLV and ASU games you're going back to his freshman and sophomore years.
