    That's sad.... reminds me of Shaun Livingston a bit, just not nearly as gruesome.

    I wonder what, if any, impact this will have on his draft status.

    I wonder how this impacts the draft prospects of guys from Gonzaga?

    Pretty sure this moves the Olynyk Clinic up to the #1 overall spot, based on number of replies to a potential draftee thread. Or, maybe The Clinic was already #1, and this impacts MacLemore?

    The injury was ugly. Full speed and landing at an angle -- IMO it looks like a patella injury.

    IF, and this has a ton of qualifiers with it...IF for some reason he misses the rest of the season AND comes out in the draft (and it's a patella/ACL or whatever injury), and he was available at whatever spot Portland drafts, would you still take him?

    Barring Muhammad being available (he's my personal favorite), I think it would be difficult to pass him up.

    Am I a lunatic (in this regard I mean..I already know I am in every other aspect)?

    I bet he stays another year if it's as serious as it looks.

    Why? If he has knee problems and Blazers luck out and win the draft lottery he knows we'll pick him first.

    If anything, I think this team would be the one team that WOULDN'T take a risk on someone with knee problems.

    If we're sitting at 10 and he's there? Absolutely you take him. #1 talent at 10, I'll take the risk.

    Personally, I think our first pick might be at #38 or so, so yeah, I'd take him there. ;) Probably Olynyk, first, though, if they were both on the board.

    You know if Montana State- Yellowstone campus had a basketball rich history you'd be all over it. They don't though, its a shame.

    You shoud read the college prospects thread, I talk about a lot of other prospects than just Gonzaga's. I know my Zags talk gets your goat. But, they're a top 5 team Papa Daddio.

    Montana State-Yellowstone? that would be a hard school to pay attention at, being that close to a SUPER VOLCANO!

    Mickey Mouse, You get so butthurt when anyone brings up the fact that Olynyk can't jump over a phonebook.

    Insecure much? Sheesh.
