Merged: The Draft Thread For Stuff About The Draft Including Thoughts About The Draft

Interesting Hartenstein coming out of the Hoops Summit was scouted as more of a hustle physical defensive guy but he was considered an offensive guy before that. He also plays hard borderline too much attitude. If he developed he could be a perfect compliment to Nurkic in a Nasty 2 towers scenario.

 

Amanda Pflugrad, the girl hosting that little piece used to be a Duck cheerleader.

Just a little FYI

 

I heard the same thing....and that Paul preferred Durant over Oden but everyone else was on the Oden train.

Not sure comparing a guy with that attitude that went #2 with a guy you take a shot at around the mid 20's is exactly apples-to-apples.

 

Probably the most popular aspect of Ducks athletics to be honest.

 

What does draft slot have to do with me disagreeing that mental issues can be fixed?

 

Mike Beasley hand mental issues off the court. Bolden needs to learn more about how to play basketball the right way. Big difference.

 

I can't see anything that the Lakers could offer that would get them to #1.

 

I feel like we see a ton of this in every thread around the draft, but it seems to include just about everything. Broken jumper? Oh, that can be fixed. Mental issues? Those can be fixed. Range? That can be worked on. People always say an issue can be fixed if it is an issue for a prospect they like.

 

I wasn't talking about Bolden. I was responding to your general statement.

I don't know anything about him but if what you are saying is true I wouldn't really consider that a mental issue.

 

To me a mental issue is a mental block whether it be on the court (Meyers) or off the court (Beasley) that keeps a player from reaching their potential. Generally speaking, I don't think those are fixable.

 

The rumor is that Giles had a great workout at pro day. He had really good bounce in his legs and the Blazer was really impress. He also moving up some of the mocks I been looking at so don't be suprise that he comes out to our 15 pick. I had him at 20 due to his past injuries and knowing that he check out 100 percent. But he hasn't wore his brace in any of his workouts so I see that a good sign. I also see us trading our 20 pick to someone and move in the 2nd round to select Hart. Our 26 pick I see us picking the big kid that they brought in for our workouts from overseas and stash him for at least 1 year.

 

Lol. Broken jumpers can't be fixed easily. Athleticism and quickness can't really be improved. Standing up to tall on defense and settling for shots? That's easy to fix with good coaching.

 

I think the mental block with Meyers is that he a gigantic pussy. Now I could be wrong with this guess but if you're right about mental blocks, that really isn't fixable.

 

I think she had a brother that played wide receiver too in the mid 2000s

 

Here rumor of a trade Blazers with the Nets:
Por out: Leonard Turner 20 and 26
Nets: Kilpatrick and Booker
I know it as a give up the 15 in the 1st trade but I wouldn't give up the 15.

 

Boo!!!

 

Vomit on his sweater already

None of those trades make us better. They're all just salary dumps.

 

Fixed it for you.

 

I didn't say I agree with the rumor. Even though both of those players I believe there contracts runs out next year so that helps us in cap room to sign Nurk.
