"Other Teams Considering Laughing In Blazers' Faces"

Last year Haynes "identified 4 prospects" two of which were Lillard and Leonard. Hmm.

NBADraft.Net seconds something I'd thought myself: the NBA comparison for Jamaal Franklin is... Will Barton.

Wolters certainly looks fun to watch. He's a poor man's Steve Nash. We badly need defense at the PG, though.

Now I've actually read about some players (I don't follow college BBall), here are the players I'm interested in:

Dieng
Oladipo
Carter-Williams
Dennis Schroeder
Giannis Adetokunbo
Tony...

This is fun: the Alligator Arm Index. Seems to be a white guy problem (this year, at least - Bayless and Roy both have it).

What's crazy is that Gobert is over 7 foot AND has disproportionately...

Didn't Klay Thompson look bad at the combine stuff?

Conversely, Brandon Roy had a shockingly good vertical. But then, so did Jordan Farmar...

Thanks mags.

Tony Mitchell joins the long list of players being linked with the Blazers...

No, he's saying if Pippen was replaced with Wilkins, Jordan doesn't win 6 titles.

Who's had the best 3 point % over a season?

That is, I admit, amazing. What's scary is how many he's already taken! Kerr made 726 his entire career - Curry has already made 644. Drazen Petrovic (4th) only made 255 total!

What was the...

Okay: but in terms of "pure" shooting skill, Curry could be beaten by people not in the NBA (like that Ohio State kid we drafted who never made it).

I wonder which of the "Splash Brothers" wins...

A lot of people (I may have been one) sneered at him for not taking Tyreke Evans. The thinking was (a) Evans was ROY, and (b) given Westbrook's shortcomings as a PG, it would be nice to have someone...

This might be the first thing we've ever agreed on.

Steven Adams would be amazing if he could play basketball.

Let's hope he wants it more than Olowokandi.

Anyone got Insider and want to summarize?

Seems likely he's really helped himself. He's got to go to Golden State, right? Because
a) Tim Hardaway
b) another NBA scion

Hey Eric: David Thorpe thinks that Marc Gasol is the MVP of the playoffs and the best center in the world.

Actual reason or your "gut"?
