certainly for us. Depends for them on who they are trading back for, and whether the difference between paying only a million for Dalembert, or 5-6 for Crawford/Matthews is worth the risk of 11-14.
Awesome thanks, pretty damn close to Rose. Not that I expect him to be that explosive, but he's got a money jumper like Westbrook so he could be very similar to both.

Although he shoots it at a good %, his release is a bit low. It needs work. If we do pick him, I hope we get a legit shooting coach to work on his release. Just don't want a repeat of what happened when our coaches tried to fix Bayless' shot and fucked it up completely instead. haha. Print scree --> paint --> crop tool. I'm putting together figures for my paper on there, so I've gotten quick with it.
Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress Green Room Invites: Davis, Robinson, Beal, Kidd Gilchrist, Barnes, Lillard, Waiters, Lamb, Drummond, Rivers, Henson, Zeller, Leonard
Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress Still waiting on Green Room Invites/Not Invited: Marshall, Sullinger, Ross, Harkless, Moultrie, Perry Jones, Terrence Jones, everyone else.
More and more I'm thinking Lillard is the guy (all things considered). You're going to need scorers to beat OKC, and I'm not convinced Lillard can't be a playmakers for others as well.
Well, taking Drummond @ 6 is a higher risk (mainly because of opportunity cost) than taking PJ III @ 11. Besides, Drummond at least has a defined position and isn't deluded into thinking he's a wing. Unlike PJ III.
I don't know if Wroten is the guy I would target, but I am all in favor of buying another pick. This is the kind of draft where the guy available at 20 could be just as good as the guy at 11. There are so many guys like Terrence and Terrence who could slip, yet turn out to be decent NBA players.
The internal struggle I have with taking Lillard at No. 6 is that he could potentially be there at No. 11. I'm not against Lillard at No. 6, but if you're split on picking him or someone else, you have to consider taking the other person, and see if Lillard slides to No. 11. This is why I'm glad I'm not the person making the selections - of course, those guys are more comfortable because they have the book on every potential selection. But I am certainly interested in Lillard as a Blazer, and would not be disappointed with the pick.
Team needs as of right now show Toronto, Detroit maybe and NO as all needing a PG. I'm not sure he would make it to #11, and I'm not sure who is better at #6?
