    The two guards I don't want Portland to take: 1 Waiters 2 Rivers. I've never been impressed wit Waiters...I don't get the hype...Bayless had soo much more promise when he was drafted then Waiters will ever have IMO... Also, if we take Waiters over Ross or Lamb, I'm gonna be royally pissed! No more tweeners who can't shoot!

    Tices' thread had me thinking but the more I think about it the less is makes sense, at least at #6.

    Why make that kind of promise when Anyone of the slated top-5 picks could be there at #6.

    You'd look like a fool taking Waiters over MKG, for example.

    I didn't get the impression they wanted to take him at 6 either, so if he's gone before 11 I would be surprised if we grabbed him.

    Selective reading by some of the posters. Waiters passes the eye test, so obviously they would be high on him. I hope they know to stay away from Syracuse players is all

    I've been turned off on Syracuse for many years. Another one is St. Johns. Mediocre Man is right. What you see is not what you'll get.

    With the 6th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, The Portland Trailblazers select....

    Physically he looks like a 6'3" Wes Matthews.

    Ohhh gosh this would be worse then picking Nolan last year. Probably my worst longshot fear of the draft. Entire section about Dion is this:

    Oh please gosh no don't be true...

    Tice's source said (apparently) that the Blazers are beyond high on Waiters...

    That thread came out of nowhere and over a week before the combine.

    Makes you wonder...
