    To be fair here. Zach is still in the league and none of the injuries are the sort that would hold him back from becoming a very good player.
    His career is far from over.

    It's why I would have done it. Always liked and still root for Zach.

    It's not his fault that he was taken where he was.

    But Neil was stupid.

    I almost bought his jersey. Meyers screwed me and kept me leary though.

    Someone else would have drafted him in that range if we didn't. That's why we traded up. Zach not developing like hoped for is a separate matter.

    It is a funny title considering the CHASM
    between the two players.

    Zach is just 27...kinda wild

    Per36 he's averaged 15 & 9 for his career. Problem is he has only averaged 19 minutes, in part, probably, because of a potential for injury. Popovich got the most out of Zach; I guess that's unsurprising. Zach does seem like a Popovich type role player. Zach has done pretty well for himself; he'll be an expiring contract next season and at the end of the season he will have made 73M in the NBA

    but he just joins the list of overrated young Blazers. I wonder who would be on the list of Blazer young overrated all-stars. Martell Webster and Zach for sure. Meyers. Maybe Rudy?

    There were many that refused the thought of trading Outlaw for Mike Conley. I'd throw Trout in to the over rated group. But really, what non star HASN'T been over rated by Blazer fans?

    I was one of them, although at RealGM it was Outlaw for Battier. I thought Outlaw had finally turned a corner....IIRC it was the season of Oden's microfracture surgery. But that was Outlaw's high point. He couldn't sustain it and had no chance of taking a next step

    Channing Frye got a lot of hype for a year or so. Crabbe and Trent J were the next best things too

    speaking of never taking the next step...does Batum fit in that category?
