    What?? Come back in a month and tell me I was wrong. I dare you. I gave you a guaranteed, gold-plated inside scoop.

    I also learned that I really don't want to be a GM having to deal with them.

    You know, he just might be good from day 1. Like they said, who knows. But saying he immediately needs a couple years in the G-League is short sighted. I'm looking forward to seeing him in Vegas. I 've got a good feeling.

    we kept Luis Montero on the active list for much of the season, including putting him into actual games 12 times. I think a kid who played high-level ball (college prep players) under a strict training regimen just may be able to break in as much as a kid who played one year of community college ball in MA before having to sit a year and then getting non-drafted.

    Since when is the NBA draft all about drafting for immediate help? I don't understand that. So many of those guys don't end up helping, while the projects (Like Giannis) end up being great.

    especially when the pick is in the mid 20's. Rarely will you find a player ready to step in and play meaningful minutes and that's often true for players drafted much earlier as well.

    That's exactly what I'm saying. The whole narrative is essentially "We need a starting level SF and we drafted a guard out of high school!"... as if we could find a starting SF at 24 (which we couldnt) and as if the draft is the only way to get better...

    We should start a Blazers Winners in the draft thread, then link it to a bunch of nba sites.....I'm pretty sure the person who started the loser list is probably a forum member here....turnabout is fair play!

    I don't know if close or not but last time I went to the Downtown Grand in the old Vegas which is my favorite part of the city. I don't know if this helps.
