    You may not like their picks, but even if they took who you wanted, they still would be in the lottery next year. Everyone in the draft is a "year away". Lots of young talent with potential.

    Sign me up. As long as we are struggling because we are trying to develop the rookies - I have no problem with that.

    If we suck AND give all the minutes to this year's version of Felton and Crawford....then I will be upset!

    Cody Zeller for PFOTF.

    His footwork and feel for the game are off the charts.

    Just as long as he doesn't have any medical red-flags, of course.

    Check this out. If you go to internet archive databases, you can look at the mocks that some of these draft websites were making at this point last year. Here's the mock from Draft Express at this time, last year -

    http://web.archive.org/web/20110430031558/http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2012/

    Not making a point about any particular prospect in 2013, but I thought it'd be interesting to offer up as an example of how much things can change over a year's time.

    EDIT: Not really sure why the link isn't working, but if you go to http://web.archive.org and type in draftexpress.com or nbadraft.net, you can view their mock archives. Draft Express's mock right after last year's draft had a top five of 1) Anthony Davis 2) Harrison Barnes 3) Jared Sullinger 4) Perry Jones 5) Quincy Miller. It was actually a really great mock, considering it was an entire year ahead of time, but I just wanted to offer it up for conversation about how players' games can develop differently than we'd expect.

    With the Blazers in the re-building phase, I think next years draft will be a prime time to deal LMA on draft night.

    I am not so sure.

    Keep an eye out for a deadline deal with us taking back a big contract with leftover cap space. We could sneak into the 8th seed

    THE HCP is confused........ I was under the assumption that we don't have a first round pick this next year...... we sent it to Charlotte. Is he wrong?

    IIRC, the pick is lotto protected until 2014/2015. I could be wrong but I do know there is some sort of protection on it.

    And Chad Ford doesn't agree that next years draft is good anyway. Sounds like this is one to miss.

    It's top heavy. Ford also said the consensus from the scouts he talked to say the 2014 draft will be the same.

    The cream of the crop: Zeller, Noel, Muhammad...
