    I've thought he most resembled Rip Hamilton (with more range) in playing style.

    so far we've had 1 trade involving players during this draft.

    and two trades involving pick shuffling.

    thought there would be more activity after all the fuss the media was making. wonder if the CBA still not being ratified is leading to some hesitancy in moves.

    LeBron being drafted 20 years ago makes me feel old.

    Jett Howard is the only guy picked so far that wasn't in our top 18. That's pretty impressive, I think. Good job, guys!

    Personally I have these three as my top wants for the Blazers:
    • Cam Whitmore (assuming he's not dead)
    • Leonard Miller
    • Noah Clowney

    If Whitmore falls to us, be hard to pass on him. But how bad is his injury?

    Don't know if worth moving up for, and yes is a big deal for a young player to sit out a year, really hampers their progress. If it's that bad of an issue, prefer to take Miller or Clowney.
