    Definitely. Leonard looks at least 2 years away from being a useful player

    I honestly see no redeeming qualities in Will Barton.

    At least we struck gold with one of our rookies this year.

    Were there any 2nd rounders we missed who are better?

    Leonard's biggest problem is learning where to be on the floor, and fouling. These are two things most rookie centers struggle with, let alone one that is 20 years old.

    The good news is that these two things are easily fixable, a good summer of work and he can improve a ton.

    That's not the point. Bad player is bad. Bad player shouldn't be playing.

    Coming into the draft it was clear he had a ton of potential but was WAY away from contributing.

    Why isn't he in the D-League? He desperately needs a stint in Boise.

    I'd prefer we'd be up by 40 but only 2 down is fine.

    Since you hate the Blazers so much why not go and "root" for another team.

    Amazing shot by Nic after he hustles for the offensive board. And-one

    Yup. Clearly I hate the Blazers because I'm not a fan of Leonard. Good logic.
