    What are Duncan, M. Gasol and Hibbert's standing vert? I'm guessing not very good. Doesn't seem to prevent them from playing good defense.

    Seems like the outlook of the draft is improving from the combine. Much better athleticism than expected and some "meh" prospects are upping their stock to lotto territory.

    This is going to be a fun year to watch the draft. After the first two there should be lots of surprises. I'm still wondering if Noel coming at 206 lbs is going to sink him. Those look like Brandan Wright numbers.

    So: Carter-Williams has great PG skills, is 6'6", super-athletic and defends? Jason Kidd II?

    I wonder if Wes (and possibly Will Barton) are noticing that the Blazers are interviewing practically nothing but SGs. I can imagine it lighting a real fire under Wes.

    With Ben McLemore looking so-so and Nerlens Noel injured, talk at NBA Combine suggests this is year No. 1 draft pick finally gets traded.

    Nerlens Noel weighs 205 lbs. That's me after a heavy meal, and I'm a not-fat 6'3".

    I have reason to believe Wes wants to get out of Portland. I bet he's gone this summer.

    You have inside info? Wes seems like one of the biggest Portland homers we have as far as players that love it here.

    we are now in a guard dominant league, with MCW being 6'6 he and Lillard could be a fukkin awesome guard tandem. Two PG's with one big enough to guard SGs!

    I would just pick up Livingston. He looked pretty good this year. Then you can still trade the pick for need or pick Shabazz as your 6th man gunner.
