    Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

    Since you asked--I have very little hope of Smith being any more than a 10 mpg backup. Babbitt has a ceiling of Jason Kapono; could be useful, but not a building block. I've never seen Claver play, so I can't really have an opinion on him until I do.

    What you seem to call "hope", I believe is patience. I wait until I have a legitimate basis to produce an opinion before I form one. Jumping to conclusions requires more energy than I'm willing to expend.

    Is being Douchey, crybaby about the draft the best you can do? How long will you cry for?

    ...oh stop it - if your player evaluation skills are anything like your gambling skills, then I think the Blazers did one hell of a job by picking Lilliard [he fits the "culture"...oh wait, KP is gone?!]

    I remember those who were devastated when we didn't go after Gerald Green.

    Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

    Barnes has a star skillset, with the mind of a D-Leaguer. He has that passive type mentality that seperates himself from guys who know what to do with the skillset they have. Another Marvin Williams. There's a reason he was once hyped as a #1 prospect, to now slipping to the #7. The more scouts watched him, the more they realized that his game has holes and his mindset isn't going to cut it in the NBA.

    Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

    Hell, I still think he'll be a 15-18ppg scorer in the NBA and have a decent career. But I'm sorry, if I think that Lillard will turn out to be a franchise PG (which the Blazers seem to think), I take a player that is at a much harder position to replace than the dime-a-dozen 15ppg wing player....

    Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

    Batum plays more aggressive over in Europe. Love watching him play on the French Nat team. Have no clue why he is so much more timid over here. Popovich had the same problem with Parker tell this year. He always said there were two different parkers, the ultra aggressive one who plays for France and then the most passive one on the spurs.

    Saw this video highlighting his ball handling. I came away thinking even more than I did before that he's going to be a Martell Webster. Its obvious to me now why he's a jump shooter instead of showing off that great stand still vert. If we wanted a spot shooter, we could have bought a late 1st round pick. You'd think in a highlight package they could find one clip of him taking his man off the dribble and using that vert.

    Just not impressed.

    Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

    Truly, most of his points come off of spot up shooting, or one dribble pull ups. Unfortunately for him, virtually every premier defender in the NBA plays SF. Not buying that he is gonna be a 18-20 ppg as a floor unless he seriously works on his ballhandling. Lebron, Iggy, Durant, Batum will all knock that shit so far away he'd wish Carmelo had to guard him every game.

    If Jae Crowder gives him fits like that, imagine when he gets to the bigs.

    Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

    I was hoping for Drummond/Rivers, but whatevs. More disappointed in #11 pick. Seems like a trade of the pick would have been better. Now they are Blazers and you just watch and hope you like what you see. We are due for some good luck.
