    I said a while back that outside of Len I would take Adams over any Center in this Draft (don't consider Noel a Center). And I certainly don't mind getting Nate Wolters in the second round.

    They do seem to be giving him a lot of attention and not many have him going that high in the draft.

    I think they Blazers are looking to get a SG out of this draft. A rookie PG puts too much pressure on Lillard. A rookie PF puts too much pressure on LA. (Need a couple reliable vets in those backup positions) A lottery C pick makes a big old mess at center with 2 young ones that can't start and will be fighting for PT with hopefully a solid defensive center.

    So if the Blazers are going to try and develop a rookie, I think SG or SF would be the best spots to develop someone but not count on them. SG because Blazers have some help with Claver and Barton already. SF because help with Claver and Batum is young and can go big minutes.

    That my pure speculation with what the Blazers are up to.

    According to Ford, Karasev is creeping into the lotto.

    MN really likes him apparently. But 9 is obviously way too high.

    That would be awesome. They can put him next to Shved.

    Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

    Enough to bring Paul. Interesting, I suppose.

    Caldwell-Pope reminds me a lot of Demar Derozan. You decide whether thats a good or bad thing.

    Derozan is a chucker. I don't think Caldwell-Pope is a chucker. At least yet.

    That mock is, IMO, not completely unreasonable. Len dropping to 10 would be a surprise, but MCW at 8 is probably their only pick in the top 10 that would be labeled a stretch.

    Talked to a scout last night that said Ricky Ledo is the best overall shooter in the draft. Said he's going to crush guys in workouts.

    Basically they swapped MCW for McCollum. I have not seen McCollum any lower than Detroit at #8. Maybe this guy knows something? Doubt it. But It would be nice if CJ was available at 10.

    My main point was that I've seen many suggesting that there is "NO WAY" Len could possibly still be available at 10, and this mock shows a completely legitimate scenario in which he is.

    Zeller is imo but someone may get enamored with his combine numbers.
