    You're going to be very surprised by how keen NBA teams are about giving him a shot...

    Incorrect. Portland retains his bird rights.
    The only change is that Portland no longer has the right to match a contract offer

    I seriously don't think so...he's broken the same bone 3 times in a row....same injury that ended his dad's career....if somebody does...he's damned lucky in my view

    He's already been damned lucky - he's athletic and nearly 7 foot.

    Low risk (depending on contract) high reward. Got to get lucky every once in a while with guys like this

    3 first round picks in 2017 and in 2021 we have zero to show for it. Yikes.

    well, its either crazy coincidence or something thats hereditary, in which case they either didnt do their due diligence or they did and ignored it

    there were better players on board (from this perspective), but at the time no-one knew it will be like that

    however, if he wasnt injured this much, hed be long-term power forward on this team
