    Is there a projected lottery guy that you hope Portland doesn't draft?

    How weird will it be for Dame to show up in Paris and meet Nico on his shoe tour?

    • Willie Cauley-Stein (Kentucky)
    • Sam Dekker (Wisconsin)
    • Jerian Grant (Notre Dame)
    • Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (Arizona)
    • Stanley Johnson (Arizona)

    Of these 19 players, who, in your opinion will be the last man waiting in the green room for his name to be called?

    Last time I saw Cosgrove he was laying bets at Portland Meadows. Tettes lives in LA, so he's dead to me.

    I not Casey (obviously) but if you go strictly by Mock Drafts then it is Kevon Looney.

    Who else did we offer Batum too and do you know for what? Someone tweeted we spoke with Detroit.

    Thanks Casey: pass on to Batum that there are many fans who died a little when he was traded, and the ones that didn't don't know jack, so we can ignore them.

    Probably Looney, though that's the easy guess. Someone reported today that Cauley-Stein could be in for a steep drop, so he'd be my not-as-easy guess.

    I saw that as well. If the Pistons offered the No. 8 pick, obviously the Blazers feel like Vonleh is better than whoever they could get at that range, though that's just a guess.

    Will do. Thing is, Nic has always been honest with himself about his struggles. You can't say that for a lot of guys.

    Any chance you can put me on the guest list? I'll give you $20.

    You probably can't say anything about this, but do you think a certain Lake Oswego native would be in the cards if worse came to worse.

    Nah, that pipedream fizzled out pretty fast. Surprisingly, NBA players aren't real adept at running marketing agencies.

    Although he (whoever he may be), will end up making way more money than I do, I always feel a little bit sorry for the last man sitting - especially if he drops all the way to the second round (Rashard Lewis). It's got to be agonizing and embarrassing to be sitting there, by yourself, while pick, after pick is called and it's not you.
