    So a guy that probably won't be ready for minutes until year 3, but we may not even have him by then? Great!

    Aminu and Ed Davis were top recruits. Also, Nassir and Anfernee could easily work out. I don't really think you have a point here.

    Are Aminu and Ed Davis supposed to be considered wins? That's a pretty low bar.

    Imagine crying about the 43rd pick in the draft not contributing immediately.

    Personally, I have no issue with the pick on it's own. I'm crying that we haven't had a 1st round pick in like 8 years who has came in and been a solid starter in Portland, ever.

    If we were trading these picks for stars, great... but we're not.

    It's not the one pick, it's the long term trend.

    Couldn't find a proper valet, so he's just having to cruise around downtown.

    If Powell resigns they would have turned a second round pick into a very solid long term starter…big if.

    Agreed, with your asterisk, and another...

    Not only do we have to resign Powell, but we need to resign him to a contract that isn't bad for a current and long term flexibility. Olshey has backed us into a corner that we can't lose Powell (Gary Trent Jr) for nothing, and might have to overpay for keep him, which causes other problems.

    TRAIL BLAZERS ACQUIRE DRAFT RIGHTS TO GREG BROWN III


    PORTLAND, Ore. (July 29, 2021)–The Portland Trail Blazers have acquired the draft rights to forward Greg Brown III from New Orleans in exchange for a future second round draft pick and cash considerations, it was announced today by president of basketball operations Neil Olshey.


    Brown, 19, was selected by the Pelicans with the 43rd overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft.


    “Greg Brown is a dynamic young player with a high ceiling,” said Olshey. “We’re excited to add him to our roster.”


    As a freshman at Texas during the 2020-21 season, Brown (6-9, 205) averaged 9.3 points (42.0% FG, 33.0% 3-PT, 70.8% FT), 6.2 rebounds and 1.00 block in 26 games (24 starts). He was an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection and was named to the All-Big 12 Newcomer Team and Freshman Team.


    Brown attended Vandegrift High School in Austin, Texas. As a senior, he was a McDonald’s All-American and selected as the 2019-20 Gatorade Texas Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

    What I liked in these highlights is how quickly he gets the ball up. No hesitation on his jump shot whatsoever.

    Could his switching teams have stunted his growth? Does team dynamic affect value? Had Grant stayed in Philly would he be a better player? Do these team switches mean anything at all in his development or are they irrelevant trivia as is implied? Frankly, I'm not sure what is being instructed here by this career assessment.
