    2-way wings are the thing in the current NBA and we lack big time there, I would guess Chauncy would prefer Daniels/Sochan out of the group you mentioned, I am assuming Nurk is returning and we do not draft a C with a lotto pick

    Doubt he would draft Griffin or Mathurin… lazy defenders.

    Sharpe is a bit Unknown.

    So that leaves Duren, Sochan and Daniels.

    I think he would probably go Daniels > Sochan > Duren > Sharpe

    he has repeatedly complained about the lack of size and defense on this team, so you would presume Duren is one of his top choices.

    From what he has described, it would seem Sochan or Duren.
    Griffen was described as 'one of the worst defenders they scouted this year' on Russillo's podcast with other NBA notables.

    He’ll probably be as involved in personnel decisions as any head coach, so whatever they end up doing will have his stamp.

    If they use the pick, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Blazers made the less popular choice and take A.J Griffin.

    Why would we take an unathletic guy with injury issues? Just why?

    I would think Sochan, Duren, or Dyson Daniels. Sharpe as a darkhorse.

    Offensive liability. Poor handles and plays weak. Doesn't like contact and can't score against a bigger player. NBA defenders will pick his pocket because he isn't explosive enough. No midrange game to speak of and isn't quick enough to keep defenders honest.

    He will probably be a good defender though. Plays with lots of energy on that end of the court. Probably a great pick for the position Portland has. Just won't be a game changer anytime soon. He's only 19 so maybe by the end of his rookie contract he will a player that can contribute.
