Interesting idea. I prefer not to be that small from a height standpoint, but if it leaves Shae at SG, I'm better with it. I still think eventually, it is the natural move for Brogdon to move on to a contender. In that line-up, Ant isn't getting many minutes which is why I think MB eventually goes.
Not ideal, but until we have a better option he still plays bigger than Tisse and is a better rebounder. And I would still start Camara as you want. I’m thinking 25 minutes for Scoot for now, 30 for Ant, 35 for Sharpe. That leaves 8 minutes for Brogdon at guard and 24 minutes at SF. Trade Brogdon only for an excellent return. Not a trade to make a trade to shore up minutes...... because there will be more injuries.
Thanks for recording this. I've always found when traveling it's much better to find the best local cell phone provider and get one of their sims with the best unlimited data plan. I have unlimited international travel on my Verizon plans as a backup but it doesn't use as good of providers abroad. Also gets throttled to lower speeds.
We are going to do our best to live stream a show tonight. We recorded a show a couple days ago and the one time that I didn't do a test recording before the show is the time that my mic didn't record a single thing. Totally bizarre. I'll post a link when we go live in here so stay tuned. Stop by and ask questions and all that!
Nate is trying to take the recording and put it on Spotify now. For some reason, he said it seemed like a different process when you do a live show. That was fun to have people interacting while we were 'live'. We will probably try to do that again. Neither of us is graphic or production oriented so we either need to school up on some of that, or have someone provide some helpful pointers because there are some things we would like to do that we just don't know how to.
@Natebishop3 ....the ref you were referring to that Draymond Green hit in that Playoff series with the Blazers, I think was Ken Mauer.
I tried to go back a while ago and find a clip of his tantrum in that playoff series and I couldn’t find it.
Cronin stacked this draft. When is Portland ever going to see 4 decent picks in one season? I don't watch college ball, but it's a good way to bring in new Blazer fans. Keeping all 4 rookies would unlock unclaimed fans that follow their college favorites. More fans can see the new rookies play, if Jody drops the sucky ROOT hi-jacking prices and NBA TV blackouts Comcast scandal.
I was incorrect about Dalton Knecht being an 'equal wingspan' guy. He is listed at 6'6" with a 6'9" wingspan and a 39" vertical. Very athletic and with a high motor. His ability to shoot the ball should help almost any team right away and he will be more ready to contribute than many of the other players listed in his draft range.
Yeah, I was going to mention that. I listened to the podcast this morning while I was working. You guys brought up quite a few things I agreed with and of course a few I did not. It was entertaining. The wing span discussion was interesting on Buzelis. A 6'10 wingspan is not ideal for sure, but it is not bad enough for me to take him out of consideration at 7 when compared to Holland, Williams, and Knecht. They are all so different in terms of skill sets. I like his Mike Dunleavy comparison. Keep in mind that Mike played 4 years in college before entering the draft. The one skill set that I think could lessen the length concern is he already has a good turnaround fade-away shot and a step-back shot. I don't think those shots get blocked very often by too many SFs. I just love his film. I agree that the perception of this draft makes it easy to move up and/or get an extra pick. Especially if it just cost us a vet who otherwise would only fetch a non-lottery type pick. Is it an over pay? Maybe but again what are we really losing if it is Brogdon, Grant, Williams, or Thybulle? (Yes I left Ant out on purpose) As for Williams' weight, yeah it sets him back a year of development, but I think long-term is a non-issue. KWare's motor concern.....why is it that it is most often the center position where this knock seems to occur for players? Either way, I would not use the Oregon year as an example. We did not seem to hear about it last year in Indiana. But there will be other equally talented guys (also with question marks) at 14 to choose from. So I am not adamant about picking Ware. At the very least this draft has 14 good options IMO. (assuming some guards are gone by then that I don't want.
