    Have the Blazers lost interest in Caldwell-Pope after seeing his workout compared to McCollum's?
    Chad Ford (1:19 PM)

    No. Workouts are pretty small part of the overall picture. Just not sure that Caldwell-Pope gets past the Wolves at No. 9

    I thought this was an interesting comment from Ford:

    Andrew (San Francisco)

    Lot of talk about Mike Muscala out of Bucknell. Whose game do you liken his to?
    Chad Ford (1:44 PM)

    Not sure who is comp is ... sort of a poor man's Pau Gasol. Getting looks in the first round as high as 21

    That is one the workouts I would be interested to see especially looking at the types of things that the Blazers want to see him do.

    Interesting comment that he won't get past Minnie. I know they want a guard, just didn't think it would be him.

    Yeah, I think that he is being overlooked a little....He certainly has some holes in his game, but I think he has some qualities that POR could use....

    He would have very good size for a SG, he has an NBA ready body IMO, he may be able to play some SF as well and skill wise he is a scorer...I like that he can post up, is a very active offensive rebounder and good at finding open spots in the defense, he can shoot as well, and he gets to the line...he's going to be a finisher, not a guy you give the ball to and have him go create, although I think he could develop that. I also think that playing at UCLA has a way of underselling players to the NBA....

    When I watch him, he reminds me of JR Rider actually, bigger and more physical, harder worker and without all the knuckleheaded b.s. that came along with JR....

    This is interesting:

    [video=youtube;w5--g4hprIE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5--g4hprIE[/video]

    McCollum's release looks kind of slow. And is Snell even TRYING to guard anyone?

    Besides Siva, MCW, McCollum and Snell, anyone else recognize anyone? Who's the dark complected kid who looks a bit like Mark Bryant?

    But he's not really like those two. He's a good shooter, but Pop wouldn't even be playing him because there's no way he can play Finals-level D. Agree with Fez that KP is a better example - he would be GREAT on the Spurs. I demand that that never happens.

    I really like Larkin's potential as a shooter/spark off the bench who could also run the p&r well, but I think his potential will be stunted in any other role. Guarding the Paul's, Lillard's, Rose's, etc. heavy minutes will be a huge problem for him and his team.

    Think JJ Barea's role in Dallas. That's his best fit IMO.

    Yeah I think he does a pretty good job. I really liked his analysis on the centers too. The more I saw of Adams and Gobert, the more I understood why they were rated so low.

    Speaking of JJ Barea, is Aaron Craft still in this draft?

    I don't know who Kevin O'Connor, but I dig his PG rankings. I've been just as high on Kabongo and low on Carter-Williams all season... really don't get the Carter-Williams hype.

    Nah, he announced he was returning before the deadline.
