    Chuma is coming off an injury, but he's a good athlete. Definitely not the level of Gannis, but he's also not Chandler Parsons. He's at least as athletic as Mo/Aminu are, and likely a MUCH better shooter.

    You're right that Bazley hasn't proven anything yet... which is why he may be available at Portland's pick. From what little info I've been able to get, he's at least an adequate shooter. He just has the highest upside of anyone Portland could pick at #25.

    It's important to note that if we keep this pick Olshey said the same thing about picking Simons last year.

    I would want to look at Bazley more, but he seemed to have quick feet and good instincts on defense. Given drafting Simons last year, I'm sure he is on their radar.

    I wish I liked college hoops enough to know even one player ya'll are talking about other than Zion and Taco. But I do love this thread and lean on these discussions heading into the draft so keep it up!

    With that said, package pick and expiring contract and trade. Win now motherfucker.

    I hope we get something back in return. Seems a waste to use the pick now to get rid of ET when we held onto him this long.

    If we have to draft I'd look at trading up Keldon Johnson. He could be a very solid 3 & D player in this league. I think we should more be looking at exploring trading the pick for player that can help this team win now though.

    They actually try to trade the pick last year but there were no takers. There less trading in the draft trying to unload a salary. Last year there were zero of these types of trade in the draft.

    Neither are particularly athletic or good defenders, but they're definitely wings that can shoot.

    Nice, but considering my age I'll go with Linda Carter and Lindsey Wagner. Ditto with the "same list".

    It's interesting to me that Olshey in his presser the other day was saying that the agents were controlling everything and that they aren't allowing workouts and so Portland would probably only have 3 or 4; but I see every day that numerous teams are having multiple players working out every day. What's the deal? Is Portland planning on trading the pick and for some reason Olshey doesn't want to say that? Or are agents sure Portland is trading the pick so they don't want players wasting their time working out for Portland?

    Olshey usually don't start bringing in players in until the 1st week of June.

    What about Kenny Wooten?
    • "Similar to Jordan Bell but bigger, longer and with even better bounce."
    Probably available in the second round. http://www.nbadraftroom.com/p/kenny-wooten.html
