    Zach Lowe: Zeller says Monday workout in DET was his last, + that he has gotten to know Meyers Leonard well. "We joke that we're a traveling circus." 4 minutes ago

    Melvin Frazier’s game and build reminds me of Josh Howard.

    Melvin Frazier’s dunk against UNC was one of the best college in game dunks I’ve ever seen.

    Cool thing about Frazier is that Tulane runs a lot of pro type stuff since they’re coached by Dunleavy. Dunleavy is also close with Olshey. If Portland keeps the pick I could see him in their cluster, but ideally they’d buy a second and pick him up then.

    Yea I could see Frazier being pretty good in about 4 years. Just sounded like Olshey was pretty focused on players that can help next season. If we could afford developing him for the next couple years he would be a solid 2nd rounder.

    I saw pics of them doing some media interviews. I'd like to listen to Frazier, but I can't seem to find it.
    Can someone please provide a link?

    Of the guys in today's workout -- Brunson all the way.

    He's perhaps the safest pick we could make at #24 -- also one of the most NBA-ready players in this draft.

    A super solid backup PG -- think Eric Maynor in OKC before he tore his ACL.

    Why would we need that? That sounds like someone you pick up in the second.

    The #24 pick will make very little impact in his rookie year (think Caleb Swanigan). That’s why Portland will try to trade the pick. They are all about winning NOW, while Lillard is in his prime, and they’re going to try to add a veteran.

    1. We don't have a second round pick
    2. He's projected first round on every mock draft. Usually to the Warriors, because it's assumed that if it's a smart pick, they'll be making it.
    3. Why do people discount bench players? It's actually our bench that's our problem. A great backup PG is a great thing to have, and certainly worth the #24 pick.

    We already have a backup point guard to develop, don’t need to waste a first on another one.

    "We already have Clyde Drexler at SG, we don't need to draft another one..."
    "We already have Sebastian Telfair, we don't need to draft Chris Paul or Deron Williams..."

    I assume you're talking about Baldwin? I don't see much evidence that he's a PG. If you're talking about Napier - is he even still under contract?
