I wouldn't understand it either. But, reaches happen on draft day all the time and if they really like Lillard they'd have to take him at 6, because if not there's a lot of talk that NO's likes him a lot at #10.

Chad Ford @chadfordinsider Big workout in Detroit today between John Henson, Meyers Leonard, Tyler Zeller, Jared Sullinger, Perry Jones, Terrence Jones ...
Chad Ford @chadfordinsider Sounds like Henson was the big standout in the Detroit workout. Mock Draft 9.1 coming in 3, 2, 1 ...
Waiters was in the doghouse for 2 years and is chubby Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Lillard has his head on straight, and also has a massive chip on his shoulder. That's a Portland mindset right there.
Detroit has been rumored to be enamored with Henson since the combine. I think he's a near lock to go there. Philly likes him as well.
It looks like this is shaking out nicely. 1: If Robinson or another top prospect falls to 6, you take them 2: If you like Lillard>Drummond, you take Lillard at 6, and BPA (a big if all else equal) at 11; 3: If you like Drummond>Lillard, you take Drummond at 6 and hope Lillard falls to 11 or take BPA;
I'm seriously curious as to why Waiters is ranked so high. He's efficient. But his raw stats were mediocre, and his physicals are seriously weak. Why should be a top 10 pick? I didn't watch Syracuse at all, so I'm just asking.
It should be very entertaining. My posts will be tame unless Soup Juggler or one of the white stiffs is called for Portland
