    Im watching Meyers Leonard right now against Michigan. Kid is going to be a good one. The more I watch, the more I want him in a Blazer uni.

    Big scouting day today. Jeremy Lamb in action at 9am PST against Pitt. And NC vs Duke at 4pm all on ESPN3.

    It's ok, the Blazers will somehow find a way to draft the one bust in the draft.

    Lamb is just so smooth. Hard to shine too much in this environment, but he has some star qualities that can flourish in the NBA.

    I know everyone wants multiple picks in this draft, is it worth taking on future salary to get later picks?

    Well, picks are liquid assets and generally easy to unload.

    Drummond reminds me more of Thabeet than Emeka.

    I just mean, like, would you take on slary for next season to get a pick. Something like taking on Luke Walton, say, from LA for their two firsts, or something like that.

    Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

    Oh, I value FA capspace more than picks this year, especially late first round picks that are projected to go 20+. But if we can get in the lotto by taking on salary, like we did in 06 (LaFrentz and #7 for Ratliff and Telfair), I would do it. So much talent in the lotto this year.

    yeah, I think the quality of this draft, and the amnesty make that unlikely, though.

    What sucks though is that none of these guys have the alpha dog mentality and talent to match. Rivers is probably the only one who might get there. It's what made Brandon so special.

    Tony Wroten and Terrance Ross both look fantastic vs LA. Check out CBS.

    Wroten is so good at taking it to the rim. But, he turns the ball over a ton and can hit a free throw for shit. But, the guy is an amazing talent. Seattle's next goody.

    Remind me again what part of Europe Wade comes from?

    (Of course, the person who introduced it to the NBA was from South America, but at least he played in Italy.)

    Manu brought the Eurostep to the NBA. DWade made it his own.

    Pah. Always imitated, never duplicated. That's like saying "The Allen Iverson Crossover" or "The Blake Griffin Dunk".
    (And if it's his own, how come Wroten has it "down pat"?)
