Keeping our pick? This might be a Lottery year

Discussion in 'Portland Trail Blazers' started by TBpup, Dec 5, 2021.

Make the pick for the Future.....or trade it for 'now'?

  1. One last attempt

  2. Build for the future....one player won't make enough of a difference

  3. Get bad enough to where the pick makes an immediate impact

    Smith's shot selection is definitely sketchy. I think Cronin is at this game in Tampa right now too.

    College is always ugly when your best players are bigs, and the guards decide to control the offense. Well, I could have just stopped at college is always ugly, but...

    The Auburn guards often seem to forget that Smith and Kessler are on the team.

    There are times, he can go off. Unfortunately, when he's not going off, that doesn't stop him from chucking and feeding someone who will play in the League.

    If we didn't get into the Top-4, he might contribute right away as much as anyone else. Certainly fills a positron of need, and seems much more aggressive than say Paolo.

    Spurs move up in the standings and the Blazers are now at 7th from the bottom. Only one more win (25) than 6th from the bottom Sacramento.

    We are still 2 1/2 game behind the kings. They have 4 extra losses on us. And like what the kings always do, they tank. They do play against the pacers, magic, and rockets twice so there’s still hope

    Rough for sure. I think he’s one of those guys that will do better in the nba since he lives in the mid range. With additional space in the nba, he will have more room to operate. I like him a lot since he remind me of Roy

    Jalen Duren is an absolute freak man.

    Hard to see him falling outside the top 7 or so.

    Not bad. I think their value could be similar.

    Kuzma was quicker and more fluid athletically plus a better passer coming out. Keegan plays a more refined, safe game. Stronger, plays more off two feet where he is a quicker and more explosive leaper than Kuz which should make him a more effective finisher and weakside rim protector.

    Keegan is fine to me. I think he'll stick. Just not excited about him top 10.

    If we don't get up into the top 3, Duren with our first pick and Murray with our 2nd would not be a bad result.
