B. The team wasn't going to solve all their problems in this draft, but they solved one of them. (lack of bench scoring) Given what they had to work with, what more could we really expect?
To make it an A, the Blazers would have needed to move up to snag one of the fallen Noel, Len or McLemore.
Silver is always breathless, as if he just finished a sprint. He is inflexible when attempting a smooth reaction to the unexpected. He will not last. F.
...Crabbe was a steal! Withey is a solid back-up with a much needed focus on D and rebounding. Jerrett is basically LMA lite. And the Euro is just that, another Euro. And getting the most NBA ready player in the first round made this an easy A-
Brian Cook had a 9 year career in the NBA with a 13.1 career PER. What's wrong with that out of a 2nd-round pick? Cook was a first-round pick, fwiw.
If your need is a tough 4-wheel drive to negotiate the jeep trail from Little Cultus Lake through the Taylor Burn to Waldo Lake, and what's available to you is a Nissan Xterra and a Ferrari Testarosa, you better pick for need "cuz Best Car Available won't get you where you want to go.
Honestly, I need to see how Olshey fills in the roster around what he did today. I thought he did a nice job. But I have to believe he has some sort of the trade market. If he doesn't fill in around what he did today, I'll be disappointed. I know THIS is the DRAFT. But again, he at least has to have some sort of semblance of what's potentially possible via trade at this point. So I hope he planned accordingly. I thought he did a nice job, though. We picked some nice pieces/potential. I'll also be curious to see CJ in SL. I know it's just SL. But we ALL knew after Dame's performance, he was legit. Iy was just so obvious he'd be a contributor (he turned out to be much more). So I'm hoping for that from CJ.
Absolutely; but let's say you have a few weeks in the entire year; you need to get there; yet most your business deals require you to drive a nice car; you can get the nice car first; then go to the used car lot and find a nice used cj7 that can get the job done. Or, maybe you get the nice car and trade it in for a tank that can smash the fuck out of the forest!
No fireworks again. I like the CJ pick mainly because there was no one else there, and I do think he'll battle it out for ROY, but a whole lot of meh. C+
