    Of course this is also why Draymond Green dropped to the second round.

    Meh, i dont like both options because i dont think that there is a player at 25 who makes us better, and i'm tired of projects because Lillard is in his Prime. Best Option is to trade the pick with Harkless or meyers or even better Evan turnover.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Is it? I'm not sure which bucket Green falls into. I don't think he qualified as a "safe role-player" pick, nor did he seem like a high-risk/high-reward player. At the time, he was a player that not many people knew how to categorize. His gifts are much more obvious to identify after the revolution than before, IMO.

    Okay, but that is a different discussion than whether or not a prospect is worth drafting at 25.

    Minstrel, are you going to join our mock off season? It seems like you would be into that sort of thing.

    I mean i don't have the time to do the research to be a legit player. Took me 20 minutes to work up this trade scenario. I don't know enough about other teams rosters Nd cap flexibility Nd that would require alot more time than i have.

    Honestly, the people who are into it will come to you. Whatever team you get I could help you understand their position in like 2 minutes. It also is a great tool to learning more about how things work in real life so you'll be more informed on the Blazers' options.

    If it means anything HJ helped me quite a bit last year as he knows the CBA better than the NBA does. Also with spreadsheets, the trade machine, and the internet its not a ton of work. It’s actually a really fun game to start looking at what other teams and what they might be looking for.

    I don't have a ton of time and I don't feel informed enough to do it as properly as I'd want to. I appreciate your asking, though.

    He was an All-NCAA senior. Like Fred VanVleet, Quinn Cook and others.

    Of course, there are lots of those who were complete crap too, which is also why he slipped.

    Ew, I can't stand Fournier tbh. Not particularly efficient, terrible defender, terrible contract.

    Also, no chance Orlando gives up Fultz and Bamba for Porter and a throw in. They're high on both. They'd probably do it if you threw in LaVine as well, but then Chicago holds off on it.

    Honestly, NBADraft.Net always has the worst mocks up until about 5 days before the draft. They're mock draft is particularly bad right now. Here are some insanely questionable predictions:
    - Coby White at 5
    - Bruno Fernando at 12
    - Nickeil Alexander-Walker at 14
    - KZ Okpala at 16
    - Romeo Langford falling to 17 (no way teams take NAW or KZ before him)
    - Brandon Clarke falling to 23
    - Naz Reid at 24
    - P.J. Washington falling to 27 (drafted behind Gafford & Reid...)
    - Jordan Nwora at 28
    - Kevin Porter Jr. at 32 (Behind Nwora and Louis King...)
    - Talen Horten-Tucker at 42 (Behind Jaylen Nowell...)

    I never rely on them.
