    No Lillard for me. This pick is almost as stupid as the Telfair pick.

    Why don't you like Lillard, TLo?

    Can I send you a couple sexy Thai chicks to change your mind?

    Lillard seems like a baller to me. Can't have enough of those guys.

    OKC is the team to beat in the west. It's going to take a bunch of guys that can score to beat them. The Blazers are severely lacking in this department.

    I think it would be cool for everyone to vote on draft night while the Blazers are on the clock, before they make their pick. That way we'll actually know who our choices are. There could be one for who we want them to pick, and another poll for who we think they will pick.

    On second thought, I'll probably be at a draft party with three sheets to the wind. I love draft night.

    :cheers:

    I like Lillard. I wanna like Lillard. But every statistical projection of him says to stay away. I am really torn on this one.

    I have this familiar feeling that the Blazers will be a draft day failure again.

    Judging by this thread, if Lillard is a boom or a bust, you are right that some folks will have egg of their face. Obvious question is which posters.

    Team: No Lillard with #6 pick

    I want him at 11 or trading up from there to get him. 6 needs to go to the bpa that falls to us.

    Would you take Brandon Jennings with the #6 pick?

    How high would you think we need to trade up from 11 to get him before someone else does? Do any among 7-10 have any interest in him?

    I've read Sac and GS have interest in him.

    I think the Hornets at 10 is really likely to take him, so probably number 9?

    Yeah, I think if one doesn't take him, the other will... so you either need 6 & 7, or just take him at 6.

    That said, I would not trade up to 4 to get him before Sacto.

    Team Lilliard:
    • Can really shoot (.409 3FG, has show NBA range in workouts)
    • Is incredibly efficient (24.5 pts on 15.5 shots = completely ridiculous, kobe was 27.5 pts on 23 shots)
    • Can create his own shot
    • Can shoot FTs (.887 last year)
    • Is very mature on and off the court - already has ideas of how he'd fit in pdx
    • hard worker, humble
