1986, Ouch. With Rodman it could have really been something (since Sabas was always staying overseas). Drexler, Kersey, Porter, Rodman...add Jordan...
I am definitely seeing this now...'83-'86 with Drexler, Kersey, Porter, Sabonis, Petrovic...WOW. That team would have really been good IF Sabas came...
It seems like '83-'85 was a turning point. Drexler, Kersey, Porter...great picks!
These are the type of things that really do bring light to the draft choices. That makes total sense and the connection to Schonz is just the cherry...
I need to watch some (more) film on Petrie and Wicks. I know them as iconic names, but not in the context like you provided.
lol, this is great! Being 40 and sitting here with my twin two year olds (boy and girl) I completely can get down with some dad jokes.
I LOVE this. Thank you :) not even 24 hrs into posting this thread and I have already learned a great deal from you and @Phatguysrule, so I really...
For many of these draft choices I completely get it, like @UncleCliffy'sDaddy is saying it can’t just be looked at as a 50 year later could have been...
@UncleCliffy'sDaddy, I greatly appreciate your insight and respect you as a poster. For background, I have been on this site since '06, so yes I have...
Holy cow...1984 was not just THE miss on Jordan, but who the Kerfupple thought #19 Bernard Thompson was a better choice over #20 Tony Campbell, or...
Ok...now 1983 and they did it...they finally (other than Walton, Paxson) made the correct 1st round draft pick. Clyde The Glide. Thank you! Some...
I wonder what the case was with Mark Eaton. Did he always just look like a mormon volleyball dad, and scouts just were not into it, or was he really...
@Whyachi, talk about conspiracy....in 1980 Houston drafted Terry Stotts #38th (of course we missed...j/k), but he never played. What if it was all a...
@e_blazer, oh yeah! That is definitely a good point. He was so dang good.
Ok, now the 80's...at pick #188 Blazers select Rick Boucher (Mom was heard in the background yelling "we don't play know foosball in our...
@Whyachi, I agree. After reading more about the LaRue Martin over Bob McAdoo draft I am definitely seeing that the Bowie draft was worse...by far....
I found this:...
And another great read: [MEDIA] Now it makes more sense to me. Still, bummer :(
I found this while searching…interesting. Anyone else have other memories, thoughts? Certainly seems like it was the first of many terrible 1st pick...
To me it seems like even to start off 1970-79 the Blazers really did not do well in the draft. 1/3 on the #1 picks (Walton) and the ABA draft is...
