At the moment Wright is not predicted to be drafted. He is 6 foot tall. Have we found the new Blevins!?!?
Analyzing stocks - I’m shifting focus to one prospect: Josh Giddey The best passer in the draft - with CJ likely on the move we need depth of actual playmakers aside from Dame.
There are a number of intriguing players that could be available with a later 2nd round pic, (Pels have 4 2nd rounder) or an UDFA that could pique interest.
I am really liking Neemias Queta. He’s an athletic 7 foot center who erase shots at the rim. He catch lobs. Been improving at free throw, 70% on 4.8 attempt a game. A huge improvement from 56.5% on 3.9 attempt during his freshman season. A great rebounder. A decent passer with 2.7 assist a game. His post game can be improve. Little slow to guard the quicker guards. But overall can make an instant impact with his defense. Watching DeAndre Ayton dominate make me really want an athletic center who is somewhat a throwback back
I would even be happy with Jalen Green. We get either of them, tank next year. Draft Chet Holmgren. Trade CJ and Nurk for players that compliment Cade/Green and Chet well. We could have 2 generational players to build around
Uhh not really. The Pelicans not only got a potential game changing player in Zion but also Ingram and Lonzo with ton of picks for Davis. Dame for Cade is a very good trade. Detroit would love to have Dame. They have some vets in Grant and Plumlee to go alongside their young players. Dame would instantly help them have their best seasons in a long time
Presser over, nba draft is 1 month away: 7/29/21 Blazers don't have a pick, but I'd be surprised if we didn't obtain a 2nd rounder.
