Who do you want at #11?

Yeah we've never seen two 6'3" starting guards win a title since less than a year ago when Holiday/White did.

Or two years prior when Curry/Poole did.

Or a couple years prior to that when VanVleet/Lowry did.

So you know - about half the champs.

 

The more I read your posts the more I realize that you don't like any of our players or anyone who could potentially be one of our players. You've (mostly just this last season) become really negative about any prospects our team has to get to a good place.

Demin is athletic... not freaky like Shaedon or something but not so unathletic that it's a concern at his size... you should also look at his numbers on the star shooting drill. Pretty impressive. Essengue has really high upside. I'm with you on Queen, I'm not a fan of his for our team. I like Jakucionis, Carter Bryant and Newell might be my favorite out of all of these prospects for us.

There are reasons to be excited about this draft outside of the top 5. I like Fleming to be a more stout version of Herb Jones. What I'm saying is there isn't a clear cut superstar outside of probably Flagg and maybe even Harper but there are a ton of guys in our range and later that could outperform even Bailey and I'm a big Bailey fan.

 

Not at 11 but at:

 

Trade it for a vet and a second.
Trade Ant for 16 and another vet or two.
Get older, gain more assets and hold our youth.

 

FWIW:

 

So Johni Broome is the pick or do we go with the Kalkbrenner?

STOMP

 

you're describing Camara, only he was older

 

Win would be getting Kalkbrenner and Knuepple in the same draft. I might even try to trade a few pieces to snag Gradey Dick after.

 

thanks for proving my point by listing a bunch of PG's...Jase is not a PG

 

What if 11 is all we have?

I'm willing to bet that when the inevitable "redraft" of this draft happens in a few years, Clifford will be in the top 11.

 

What about the guy at # 5, Murray-Boyles?

 

He's certainly my preference, but he won't help the Blazers' shooting woes. He's been compared to Justise Winslow...

 

I think he would be an awesome hell razor on defense. Would be fun to watch.

 

Wouldn't be surprised if the Rockets snag him.

 

So I guess they're planning to offload Tari Eason, Dasean Tate and maybe a couple more of their forwards?

 

They have to consolidate. I'd love Eason for the Blazers.

 

Eason and Reed would be nice.

 

I have revised my order at who I want in the draft.

11: Demin, Essengue
16: Fleming, Coward, McNeely

We'll need to shoot for a single or a double that addresses shooting if Simons is sent out.

 

As much as I like Jase — you 100% take Jakucionis if he’s there. Period end of story.

I removed him from my 1a/1b as I really don’t think he gets by Brooklyn.

I still believe this ^ but we could luck out like we did with Clingan

 

I forget who I was watching earlier but they made the case for Egor over Kasparas. Neither shot the three ball well but Egor has the superior size and passing. Shooting is closer between the two than it gets credit for.
