    Don't expect Noel to visit anymore teams outside of Cleveland and Orlando unless there is a trade up to 1 or 2 or strong sense of one.

    "I think we've narrowed the field, but this is part of the process to put it over the top." -Olshey on draft prospects #ripcitydraft

    Trail Blazers ‏@pdxtrailblazers 4m
    Neil Olshey says this process is more about getting to know the prospects off the court, how they fit w/ the team & community

    I have watched a grand total of 30 seconds of his shooting form and have already determined why his shot is so inconsistent. You will notice that on his first two shots his left toe is pointed more towards his target. Then on his next few it points more inward, causing a lift issue. Then he straightens it back out slightly at the end, but then turns it in on his last shot.

    his shot seems EXTREMELY fixable, so that should not be a concern for a team interested in him. If my dumb ass can see that in 30 seconds, and NBA shooting coach should be able to fix that entirely in about two practices

    "there will be a team willing to save some $$$ and trade a center for our pick and that scrub Leonard"

    that's what I read, but I am a bit impaired, so take that for what it's worth

    Thanks for the P3 article! I'm now even more intrigued by Shabazz. The fact that he's a lefty also increases my interest. Even if he's not our starter it sounds like he could be a fantastic 6th man - instant offense off the bench. And we can bring him along slowly from there and once he's developed the lateral quickness for defense maybe then he'd be our starting SG.

    I can see why some people dont like him but he is that high risk/high reward chance that I think we will have to make at some point.

    Yup. And given that there is hardly any SG talent in the league at the moment, the chance that Shabazz might become a good/great one makes it that much more enticing.

    My guess is he goes #9 to Minnesota. They are looking for a SG and he would fit in well with Rubio IMO.

    #Blazers GM Neil Olshey said there will be 9 to 10 more pre-draft workouts coming up. Team does not reveal who's coming in

    Candace Buckner ‏@blazerbanter 3m
    But we do have from @AdamZagoria that Creighton's 6-9, 260 pound center Greg Echenique will work out with #Blazers on Friday. #retweet

    Candace Buckner ‏@blazerbanter 1m
    Olshey: "It's exciting to get back in the gym, and look to the future. We spent a lot of time going over this past season and now...

    Candace Buckner ‏@blazerbanter 1m
    "...we need to start building next season's roster and this is the first step." -- Olshey

    Candace Buckner ‏@blazerbanter 1m
    Several of the players today said that the #Blazers workout was different than others they've experienced. Shorter but more competitive

    That would mean CJ McCollum drops to 10, most likely, then.

    I wouldn't mind that. BPA.
