    I've got a solution: whichever player has the better standing reach wins ... I eagerly await the results of the combine's anthropometric testing.

    Standing reach vs height ratio?

    Maybe we should just put these guys both down as pick #4 and move on to #6 ;)

    That is not how conventions work. Ed O just needs to get in touch with Barnes and Lillard's agents and ask them who they want their delegates to support.

    We could always decide the tie using WWMD [what would Mixum do]

    I think some of the frequent non-Blazer fans ought to break the tie (BJM, '44thilla, etc.)

    Scouting Drummond:

    [video]http://youtu.be/V1xHtOMCJPg[/video]

    4:00 starts with his weaknesses, his offense is pretty ugly. 28.5%FT is very scary. I still like him, but I definitely wouldn't move up to get him.

    I'm not sure his offense is much worse than Oden's was. His touch is a bit better. The free throw thing does concern me a lot. 50% is bad, 30% can keep you on the bench.

    Not that Oden looked like Tim Duncan in the post

    But teams were forced to double team him in the post. If not he could just back his man down for a dunk or get fouled. Freakishly strong.

    I don't think Drummond is quite that strong.

    I voted for Barnes; but I would definitively take Drummond over Beal.

    We've got a bit of a lead here, but I'm going to leave it open for the full time and post pick #5 later today (which probably shouldn't go two full days, but you never know...)

    Drummond just intentionally LOST weight, he wants to be quicker.
