    One of the primary targets of Oklahoma City's pursuit of a Top 5 pick on Thursday, sources tell Y! Sports: Maryland 7-footer Alex Len.

    Where would Marcus Smart have gone had he stayed in the draft? #1?

    Not with Cleveland holding #1.

    It would have been top 7 I bet. It would be nice for him to get his 3pt % up, but next year he likely wouldn't have gone any higher than this year because of the increased competition.

    He's a great fit next to Irving.

    Big enough to guard SG's and has the passing ability to allow Irving to play off the ball.

    They have Waiters as well. I highly doubt they would draft another guard.

    I think the #1 pick would have a lot more value if Marcus Smart was still in this draft.

    I doubt Cleveland takes him, though.

    But I almost guarantee the Blazers pull out all the stops to land him, to put next to Lillard.

    I kind of hope OKC gets Len, because I don't think he's going to be very good (now that I've listed to Kevin Pelton, who compared him to Meyers Leonard).

    How does OKC get into the top five? Call Orlando (2) or Charlotte (4) and offer 12, 29, 32 and future Dallas first-rounder. Done. Len to OKC

    I think that is wishful thinking, particularly given....

    Darnell Mayberry ‏@DarnellMayberry 19m
    Excuse me. Got the protection on the picks mixed up. The Dallas pick is top 20 protected through 2017. Still a future first, though.

    Blazers say GM Neil Olshey is "unavailable for comment" re: LaMarcus Aldridge reports/rumors. Olshey has been in draft prep media blackout

    Sure seems to me that if Noel doesn't go #1 ORL would take him....

    Another 2nd round sleeper that POR worked out and may take:

    James Ennis
    http://hoopsanalyst.com/blog/?m=201306

    He seems to rate very well with analytics crowd, I think this shows some of the influence that analytics plays in POR decision making

    Magic has nothing of note going on trade-wise and expect to use the 2nd selection in tomorrow's draft, sources say.


    Doesn't appear than MIN or OKC are having much luck via trade....If Len goes #1...do they go Oladipo or Noel?
