    Draftexpress has us taking Patton, Anunoby and Giles right now with 15, 20 and 26.

    I would be ecstatic if this happens and don't want to trade any of those picks if this is how it goes down.

    The question is, can we develop those guys to bigger markets in around 4 years or so?

    I think I would too. But I also think he is rising too fast.....so he will be gone by 15, but then which player projected to go higher will fall? Mitchell? Probably Kennard :angry:

    Maybe take both Giles and Bam and hope you get a steal with one of them.

    "Adebayo is a complete freak of nature in this category. He has a Dwight Howard type of build with wide shoulders and like Howard he’s quick off the floor. Adebayo showed his explosiveness time and time again during his time with Kentucky, routinely catching lobs from De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk. It’s not all run and jump plays for Adebayo however, he showed the ability to play on the perimeter defensively and hold his own when defending shifty guards on switches."

    You figure with 3 draft picks we should here some types rumors. I know Neil is type lip so if anything going down so is a possible trade partner.

    One thing on the Howard trade worth mentioning I think. Writers are speculating that it is almost a guarantee now that ATL picks a Center with the 19th pick. So if we go swingman at 15 and have a specific big guy targeted at 20, the Hawks could just beat us to the punch. Now this assumes we also don't end up dealing the 20th pick so a lot of assumptions but it interesting none-the-less.

    Half the fun are the trade rumors.

    Rarely has PDX ever been in a Woj bomb.

    Who knows how the draft will go, but I'd be surprised if Bam went ahead of 15. I guess Miami and Denver are possibilities but i doubt it.

    I still think we're trading up.

    I think it's good we aren't hearing any rumors. Usually by the time you her 'em, the deal is dead or never was going to happen anyway.

    Olshey is probably just waiting to see who he has to trade up with to land Isaac or Markkanen.

    I don't think we can land Isaac but we can comfortably get out of this draft with Markkanen. Won't be at all surprised if he goes no. 12-13.

    I hope we don't get him.

    If we come out of this 3 pick draft with 1 player who doesn't play defense and future picks to shed bad contracts, I'm gonna lose my mind.
