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

    NCAA Day 3: Possible Blazer picks

    Not a good day for Lottery projected pick pretty much all the way around.

    Chet Holmgren: 9 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks, and fouled out. 4-7 from the field, but 0-3 from '3' where he has been struggling of late.
    Jalen Duren: 7 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. Foul trouble limited him to 19 minutes. Shot only 3-11.
    Ochai Agbaji:     15 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 2 steals. Got some late breakaway lay-ins to improve to 5-14 from the field, and 1-3 from '3'.
    Jeremy Sochan: 15 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Didn't shoot well at 4-14, but did get to the FT line and guarded every position on the floor.

    A combined 16-46 from those four. Ugh!

    No place in NBA for Cockburn. Caleb Swanigan or Luka Garza type

    Unfortunately agree. Doesn’t look smooth in these clips. I admittedly don’t watch college basketball so this is only based on clips.

    Kofi Cockburn? Didn’t McDonalds get sued because of that?

    He doesn't really fit our current pick spots but Mark Williams fits the mold of the athletic center especially for a back up that I want.

    How does the fifth position in the draft lottery sound? We're only two games away and after how we looked today, I think we'll duck under both the Kings and Spurs.

    After watching yesterday and today, would have no problem choosing between Holmgren and Banchero, and it's not even close!

    I don’t think Banchero is good enough defensively

    My original plan was hopefully to get Banchero
    Move down for Wendell Moore and Sochan but Sochan flew up draft boards

    But Chet is a combination of Bill Walton and Kevin Garnett!

    Banchero looks like a star on the offensive end…very polished

    I definitely meant the Kings and Pacers, thanks for catching that one.
