Syracuse guard Michael Carter-Williams said he interviewed yesterday with Blazers

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 1m
Carter-Williams said Blazers asked him about his body language (which he says could be better) and whether he would accept coming off bench

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 1m
Carter-Williams said he thinks he can play both PG and SG and that his size allows him to defend SG

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 1m
Lehigh G CJ McCollum will not interview with the Blazers this week, he said

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 1m
I have no idea how good CJ McCollum is, but he has an All-Interview future ahead of him. Presents himself very, very well

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick 24s
Michael Carter-Williams said he also interviewed with OKC, Minnesota, Detroit and Charlotte

Hearing first 2 promises of 2013 Draft: Dennis Schroeder & Giannis Antetokounmpo both given 1st round guarantees sources say.


Interesting since they are both international and could be steals in the long run

Don't be surprised to see Shabazz Muhammad start to plummet on draft boards. Hearing concerns about his mechanics and one dimensional play


Funny how different people see things so different

 

It seems more and more like Shabazz may be our target. No sources just a gut feeling. I just wonder if he will fall down to 10.

Ben McLemore is not participating in drills. Reports said he would be. #NBACombine

Victor Olapdio is not participating in the drills. #NBACombine

 

Random question, whatever happened to Jan Vesely? He was supposed to be the next best Euro semi-big coming into the draft a few years ago, and never got PT. Washington seems just as bad at developing youth as Sac. Wall and Beal need to bolt.

 

I think so. I dont like it but it makes sense.

 

Damian Lillard ‏@Dame_Lillard 4m
I'd like to see these guys compete... They shouldn't give the option to sit out...

Love. This. Guy.

Archie Goodwin and B.J. Young having a mini-competition for who can look like a worse shooter. Air-balling shots left and right.

Prospect G Shabazz Muhammad, #Blazers G Damian Lillard already have a bond, discussed possibilty of playing together http://www.csnnw.com/blog/blazers-talk/muhammad-lillard-discussed-playing-together-nba …

 

Scoot over. I've like Nate Wolters for a while now.

 

I'm not huge on Muhammad. But, at #10 I can live with it. I'm just not sure he'll ever tap into that star hype that he's always had.
