    Players like Lamb are a dime a dozen. An athletic 7'1 center is a little bit more of a commodity.

    Sounds like a reason why the Blazers picked Bowie/Oden over Jordan/Durant

    Always go BPA

    he shot half his shots from 3, and shot .330

    but im glad he got alot of easy buckets from 2, being taller than everyone else will help you do that

    I like Lamb. But I can't say he was BPA when debating between Leonard and Lamb.

    Frankly, some of the stuff on Lamb that came out leading up to the draft had me a bit concerned about what he has (or doesn't have) between the ears.

    That being said, Lamb certainly has the potential to be pretty solid (though so does Leonard).

    And nobody said Durant was a dime a dozen (as your post implied). It's just he wasn't as rare of a commodity as Oden.

    Yup

    That's usually how they measure how tall someone is

    fact is, the guy isnt worth an active roster spot on a good team right now, as evidenced by his dnp's, dleague visits, and 4 mpg

    I think it's arguable.

    Also, people said the same thing about Drummond (his mindset isn't right). Looks fine to me. I think both of them losing their coach last season was a huge negative for them.

    Because he was a 7-0 center

    There is no time for him because of Martin and Sefolosha. It's not that hard to figure out.

    Stop being stupid.

    Leonard has a PER of 13.3 on a Usage of 12.7. He is one of the rare NBA players who has a PER that exceeds his Usage rate.

    Not the same thing when you're drafting at 11 versus drafting at #1 or #2.
