    I agree, but I think Kanter is obtainable.. he’s made a lot of money already, I think he wants a place to call home and Portland sounds like it could be that for him.

    Kanter is more realistic than Hood, sure. But if we lose Hood, who replaces him?

    Look he lost 30 lbs. He can put that back on just as easy. But either way he is a year or 2 away. But his fade away turn around jumper is pretty tough to stop. He has skills, but he is a tweener IMO.

    tweener? Like Garnett? He is a mismatch ... Can Zion guard him in the post?

    at pick 40+ there is absolutely 0 risk. if he can play rotation mins in the next 3 yrs, that pick is a success. but he brings something so unusual to the table at his size.

    I think most of the talking heads that give out “draft grades” will give us an A

    Based on their injury history, they will pop alright...

    No I don't think Zion can. But Bol Bol can not guard a stretch 4 and that is the way the league is going.

    I like how YouTube Vids and 8 games at Oregon make people think Bol is good. I’ll bet my S2 account he’s a bust.

    Durant was measured at 6-9 215 lbs at the draft combine.

    Bol Bol is a PG/ SG in a 7 foot plus frame and it is a shame and unless he is willing to get up to 230 to 240 he will be a complete bust but i am rooting for the young man to prove me wrong cause i do remember his father.

    He’s a guy I loved coming into the draft. Really would love to buy him or at least have a shot at him in UDFA but I imagine the Lakers would be hot on his trail.

    I hope if he is not picked the Blazers invite Wooten to Summer league cause i think he could be a good player but he really needed to stay at Oregon for another year.

    Yeah living in SD I’ve seen him play in person a couple times. I think he was playing out of position, played in a shitty system on both ends, and is getting kind of looked over.
