Henry Abbott @TrueHoop Bradley Beal says Jeff Taylor played toughest D on him and will make a good pro: "Very strong. He has the body for it. He can guard 1-5."
Sports Biz Radio @SBRadio Blazers Insider @JWQuick joining me on @750TheGame in moments to discuss Blazers strategies for NBA Draft on Thursday.
Neil Oshley and staff have narrowed it down to 4 candidates, Quick "Thinks": Lillard, Lamb, Leonard, PJIII. No on Drummond. Blazers Pretty sure who's going 1-4, after that its a crab-shoot Oshley insists he's a BPA guy, the one message was the draft is simply a step in the process of gathering assets Judge the Blazers on July 20th Looks like they'll use the picks at the moment, not enough out there being offered to trade. However draft fever might hit tomorrow.
A couple of things 1. Thanks 2. Crab shoot? 3. Leonard and PJIII at #6 4. Judge them the 20th makes me think trading the picks and people going WTF?
At least Quick's more professional than I would be. Even if it came from Olshey's mouth that he's thinking of Leonard, Lamb or PJ3 at #6 I'd call B.S. and wouldn't write it up. Seriously? That's Araujo-level...or maybe Saer Sene.
Ben Golliver Damian Lillard on reports that his workout with Blazers was off the charts: "It was a great workout. It was just one of those days where I had a lot of energy. Well-rested. I just felt good... I did hear that they were saying it was the best since Kevin Durant, but they didn't draft Kevin Durant, so I don't put too much stock into it at all. I just try to focus on what I can control, and that's when I get to the workouts, showing that I work hard, showing my strengths and going to the next gig."
Quick's Guess: Lillard 6 Leonard 11 The Lottery is a crap-shoot after 4th pick, in Blazers mind. The Blazers have narrowed down the list of guys they want to 4 guys, no telling the order.
Sports Biz Radio @SBRadio If Hou-Sac make a deal & Hou grabs Drummond at #5 to ship to ORL for D-Ho, Blazers may have Barnes of MKG drop on their lap at #6.
It's an important letter, for sure. I'd love a big pile of steaming crab, but not a big pile of steaming crap
