    Martell almost always had good pre seasons for the Blazers. The regular season was a different matter.

    I can't believe we're talking about Martell Webster. I am delighted that the Blazers chose to take a risk on a rookie rather than keeping him around. I couldn't have taken another season of watching him loft up brick after brick.

    What Wesley is doing now is what I always hoped Martell would develop into.

    But I am starting to question our scouts. Outside drafting Batum/Roy/Aldridge we've sure picked some 'meh' prospects.

    Babbitt
    Johnson
    Pendergraph
    Cunningham
    Oden
    Koponen
    Freeland
    Rodriguez

    I agree with all your points.. although the last comment is a little much.

    I was more commenting on the pick, itself, as opposed to the trade to get it.

    Shoot, I'd rather have Eric Bledsoe right about now.

    If you could re-do that draft you take Landry Fields at #16 and run!

    hopefully babbitt is better than he has shown and is just suffering from nate's confidence-sapping system. guess we'll find out.
