We have a one 10th of one percent chance of getting the number 10 pick. That is the worst pick we could get.
I agree. I don’t think the Blazers can straddle the fence and try to both win a title in Dame’s window and develop a young top tier talent. My guess is that if the Blazers hit a top four pick they trade back in the draft to get two picks that end up being used in trade to acquire two established players.
I might be in the minority but the one player I do not want is Chet fron Zaga --- someone name the last Zag picked in the lotto that turned out to be a good NBA player ...... There is only a couple players I would want in the Top 10 that MIGHT be players that might be instant to maybe 1 yr to grow into a minor star or better type player -- Banchero , Jabari and maybe the young man from Iowa --Murray If the the Blazers feel like they are not rdy or cannot get them then you trade down OR out and get a vet and a future 1st or something I am crossing all my fingers and toes for the Blazers and hope they get a top 4 pick but the way this season has gone expecting the worse scenario.
I have a busy evening and will probably end up just watching on my phone. What time should I be checking in?
We are getting the 7th pick. You can play that simulator hundreds of times and #7 comes up the most and continues to come up. The more you play the more it becomes obvious 7th pick is in the cards.
I will never ever understand this logic. but I’ll play. Name the last #1 recruit the Zags had before Chet.
If it ain't Duke or Kentucky you won't find many. Last 20 years there have been 15 colleges and 3 countries that have produced #1 picks.
Assuming we get Grant with assets other than our lottery pick, I don’t get why we HAVE to trade our pick. Think about it, once we resign Simons and Nurk we are pretty solid Dame/Hart/Little/Grant/Nurk/Lotto/Simons/ Winslow/Watford/Vet Center plus a few free agent signings. That is a very solid team. Our lottery pick doesn’t need to be a starter right away, if it can contribute off the bench as a spark plug that would boost our overall depth tremendously. We can talk about getting another established player when we get closer to the deadline
im talking about #1 recruits, not #1 draft picks. Gonzaga having lotto picks to begin with is a testament to their program, and shouldn’t be held against them or the players that have been drafted in the lottery.
The closer we get to the lotto, the more I am starting to see 7th pick pop up. Today's 10 draws: 7,2,7,2,7,4,7,3,6,7 Still lots of top 4 though. My prediction is we get the 4th pick somehow.
