    Watching highlights.... Dude reminds me of RoLo, if RoLo were shorter and had to be a SG/SF instead of a C.

    (Can we call those "highlights"?)

    I'll give Olshey credit - the whole Scrubb business was a beautiful bit of misdirection. The obvious question is why he bothered? Was it just some sort of prank?

    You can go to the draft thread; I posted a lot of info there.

    Maybe Neil was genuinely intrigued but after every time he did some bit of scouting or an interview or watched a workout he still wasn't sure what Scrubb was. Then at the end of the process he decided that Scrubb was in Neil's assessment either not going to be good in the league or wasn't right for our team.

    New Plan:
    CJ for Oladipo, and Olshey uses the old switcheroo.

    CJ = Charles James, so he's a cross between Charles Barkley and LeBron James!

    ESPN went to a commercial when we selected him. Then came back out and went on to next pick, and so on. Backtracked to talk about some dude name Yam (maybe they were hungry for thanksgiving dinner, turkey and Yamms), then continued on to newer picks. Went back to NBC Sports NW, and there was no live cut in on Portland's pick, so i was like WTF?. I know we will hear about CJ soon, but ESPN never even acknowledged him. I hate that chit. I'm not predicting anything cause many of these picks, including 1st rounders won't ever make an impact. He could be a diamond in the rough. We will find out. But welcome CJ.

    My guess is that they were not prepared/ expecting to talk about him.

    PORTLAND, Ore. (November 18, 2020) –The Portland Trail Blazers have selected forward/center Isaiah Stewart with the 16th overall pick and guard/forward CJ Elleby with the 46th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

Elleby was the third-fastest player in Washington State history to score 1,000 career points and is the first player to be drafted from the school since 2011.


    An All-Pac-12 First Team selection as a sophomore in 2019-20, Elleby (6-6, 200) averaged 18.4 points (39.6% FG, 33.9% 3-PT, 82.3% FT), 7.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.75 steals and 0.81 blocks during his second collegiate campaign.
