    We probably won't jump up to top 3, but if we do I hope we don't get the first pick. I don't want to be the team forced to thinking we have to pick Noel. I am fine with the second or third pick in the draft this year since no one is a slam dunk pick. Oladipo would be who I want if we jump and that is based merely on his comments that he would genuinely like to play in and for Portland.

    Agree and repped. I mentioned the same thing earlier. Lucky for us would be the 2nd or 3rd pick

    Maybe he was adopted. Can he play ball or not? That's all that matters.

    Amazingly enough (to Americans), such people exist. Remember Greek Center Sofoklis Schortsanitis? Not adopted.

    Also, have you noticed how few African Americans have actual African names?

    No weirder than a black guy with an "american" last name, really. Like, oh I don't know, Johnson, for example?

    What kind of last name is Panic, anyway? Is that Armenian?

    Personally, I'm hoping for a pick between the square root of pi and pi.

    Ha, maybe we did! They do the lottery in advance in a hidden place. The lottery show is just for that, show.

    And in other news, after the photo was taken, the four began beating the photographer senseless.

    I just don't get why guys projected to go late lottery are there. I suppose it makes sense if they were a consensus #1 pick, but this is a bit hard to understand

    Remember how back in the day we never were in the lottery? Weren't we one of the last teams to be in the lottery?
