    Now I'm going to be really disappointed if we don't end up with this guy:



    He's Biggie Swanigan with better passing! Summer League championship MVP candidate!

    I'd also be very happy with Hollinger's #55:

    The next Joe Ingles can be tutored by the former Joe Ingles.

    "Lite" lol

    It's the blocks that's the most impressive thing:



    I don't think "Hustle" really suits him. Waddle, maybe?

    hadn't looked until now, but do I see two 2nd round Blazer picks this summer? I think one is Charlotte's, that's definitely a keeper. Probably land ~#34. The other is Atlanta's. The Hawks are having a sludgy start to their season. That 2nd rounder might be a pretty decent.

    I know there's protected 2nd rounders all over the place, but if that Hornets pick is valid, then the Blazers are going to have to make some room for 3 (or more) talented rookies next year.

    sounds like the Remix are going to be LOADED next year. That should be fun to watch.

    I'm gonna go with Adem Bona, 6'10" big bodied C. Averaging 12 & 7 for UCLA this season. Blazers need some muscle in that hustle.

    Jaxson Robinson, high volume perimeter shooter with BYU. 6'7, senior, the Blazers could use the floor spacing really bad.

    Ben Gregg might not come out this year but he’s becoming quite the prospect. I’d love us to draft him.

    Yes, the Blazers are projected to have 4 picks in this year's Draft, but I've been told it is highly unlikely they make all of those picks. Consolidation or a trade of some of those picks seems very likely.
