    I agree, I think he's a 20 area pick, he ain't ready nor close IMO

    I don't want either one there are other C's and wings I much prefer who IMO will be there for us at 10. I'd take Adams over Gobert but 10 is too high for both of them unless they kill it in workouts

    Gobert's mobility/lateral movement is certainly going to be exposed on this level.

    He definitely needs to mature a bit, but I don't want to give too much importance to the video. I posted the video back here in Feb thinking it was a big deal, but have since changed. I remember reading people question CP's character in 05 after he punched Julius Hodge in the groin and got suspended. And most of the same people loved how good of a character Marty was.

    Do we even want to win the draft lottery?

    If you the Blazers can't trade the pick that's just more money they have to spend on their #1 selection, a guy who will be pretty ehhhhh

    Would be nice to win it and trade down or even see what is offered for the #1 pick.

    Yes, but only to package it for DMC or one of the Detroit bigs.

    I'v had the feeling we were going to win the draft for about two weeks now and its a draft I could really care less about if we win it. Would rather trade down or just fully trade the pic away this year.

    I like to apply the "foxhole test" to potential draft or trade targets; and I have no problem with a groin puncher in the fox hole with me; as long as he punched someone from another team. As far as a guy who has no interest in the success of the squad; no, i don't want him in the foxhole with me.

    Ford has Blazers picking Dario Saric. Shabazz dropping to 14.

    nbadraft.net and draftexpress.com still have not updated their mocks.

    Saric is a lotto talent but his defense is atrocious and his jumper needs a ton of work.

    ...at least according to Givoni.

    Btw, the day of the combine Ford dropped Shabazz in his rankings.

    I would barf if we drafted Saric. I don't think Olshey is stupid like that though.

    Ford doesn't think Larkin will last to the late first. A lock to go mid-first, could go late lotto.
