    What did the Blazers know? Was anything ever published or quoted?

    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

    Hindsight is 20/20, but that's a who's who of missed ops.

    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?
