Looking as NO draft record for Blazers, he has drafted extremely poorly every 4th year. Thank god, we don't have any draft pick this year.
You think he drafted poorly in 2013? What...? He literally drafted the best player in the entire lottery at 10th overall.
Neil can’t draft for shit in the first round — non-lotto. He’s elite when it comes to the second round however
Oden is bad as a single pick, but the collective draft of 2017 is even worse. 3 draft picks ended up as two players. One pick didn't get his 3rd year option picked up. The other may be out of the league by the end of his rookie deal. Considering how deep the draft was, coming out with nothing is a massive failure. Instead of Zach Collins we could have had: Donovan Mitchell Bam Adebayo John Collins AND OG Anunoby Instead of Caleb Swanigan we could have had: Kyle Kuzma Derrick White Josh Hart Dillon Brooks Thomas Bryant Monte Morris I mean come on. Multiple guys that got 10+M contracts off their rookie deal and could be starters on most teams. To end up with nothing after having 3 picks?
They knew one leg was significantly different in size compared to the other. They gave him corrective shoes that may have been what caused his injuries. https://www.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2007/11/thats_not_a_limp_thats_just_od.html
