    Lamb!

    Almost went with Henson, he should be a solid big and every team could use an extra one.

    Ah yes, Lamb...the forgotten man. Forgotten ever since he's forgotten who's on the Blazers.

    I too would prefer Ross over Rivers. Rivers doesn't interest me at all.

    I'm on my phone and can't vote. I can't even see the choices. No big.

    I voted for Henson. I think that he's more likely to make an impact at PF (a more important position for average+ players than SG is, IMO) than the others are at SG or SF.

    He was at one time hyped as a top 5 pick.

    All the mocks I can find have Lillard ahead of Rivers. Weird. None of those mocks have Lillard going to the Blazers either.

    I have an odd feeling that Portland is hiding Lamb. Him playing stupid, then hurting his ankle. Conspiracy theory at best, but I am throwing it out there

    Does it matter where the mocks HAD a guy or where he will be drafted? Drummond was also once listed as the #1 pick....

    At the end of the day, it is sure looking like Rivers will be a top 10 pick....Higher than he has been listed for most of the year....

    I worry that if we hid him, he wouldn't know how to get out.

    Perry Jones III.

    He's kind of become a forgotten man, but he could be a truly special player, and would be a value pick at #9.

    Well in keeping with the prevelance of the discussion of him falling, yes, it does mean his stock has fallen. Just as Drummond has. Thats what the draft process does, it elevates players, or drops players if new flaws have been discovered in their game.
