    I like the McGee pick. Adds a nice interior defender. Johnson , not so much. Very young and inconsistent. Another PF/SF with more experience would have been my choice. Someone like Harrison Barnes.

    Just about the whole Spanish roster is NBA vets. This will be a great test before leaving.

    Barnes first child is due in the next month. Probably didn't want to be overseas.

    "Dame Lillard's great defense forces the travel."

    Common theme these games but, Dame gets hunted on literally every possession. I know they are switching by design, but are they only doing it because they don't think Dame can fight through a screen?

    It's amazing what a little Pop's coaching does for Lillard's defense.
