    Is it safe to assume Leonard is gone in some fashion?

    It's safe to assume many fans are hoping that is the case.

    Man I really hope Neil got this one right. I hope we look back in 5 years and say we got one of the best 3 players in the 17 draft at 10

    Hell yes. Zach is taller, longer, a better shooter, a better defender, and his post moves and shots out of the post translate better to the NBA.

    We got Lillard and Roy at 6. Hopefully we'll be able to say we got CJ and Collins at 10 in the same light as that comment.

    If you got a Top-3 player at #10, you are a freakin' genius!

    I think its a risk we can take at 26. He might be top 5 if he never got hurt

    Too much risk as a Blazer. He'll likely be fine with anyone else lol

    I might get killed for this because people will take it the wrong way but he kinda reminds me of Tim Duncan. By that I mean that it looks like he has good fundamentals and great footwork both offensively and defensively. Obviously he has a good jumper and better range but I see some similarities.

    Yeah we need both styles at PF. Noah can guard quicker players on the perimeter better than Zach IMO
