    I wouldn't go that far, but boy do I love Flynn. 3rd best player in this draft IMO.

    Weren't you the same person though that was clamoring for us to only bring in a vet and ridiculing those that wanted to bring in a young player?

    As much as I don't really like the initial post, and the other posts from odenisgod, I am really really high on Flynn. He's the one player PG in this draft that I'd rather have than Bayless (as you can tell I'm pretty high on Bayless). Sounds like he can step in and lead as a PG pretty well too. I know Brandon is the leader, but having a PG that can really keep things rolling would be very useful. Either way...getting Flynn (which I don't think we'll do) or having Bayless come back after working with Oden is making me excited for the pre-season to come.

    It seems a lot of you are really sold on this kid, saying he's the next Chris Paul, one of the top 3 in the draft, etc. So if he's so good, why does every projection have him not going in the top 5, let alone the top 10 (in most cases)? Do you know something that these draft gurus do not know or....?

    Personally I think Bayless deserves some more time to earn the PG spot on this team. He showed us flashes of really good things in his rookie season, and now that Sergio is probably on his way out, the door for Jerryd (sp?) is wide open.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't like Flynn better than Bayless, but I do like Flynn and would be pretty intrigued if the Blazers got him. Until point guard is solved for good and all, I'm perfectly fine with picking up more interesting talents at the position and letting them battle to the death.

    Rubio, of course, is the guy I want (and would value even above Bayless), but there are other interesting players to draft. It may be a weak draft, but every draft generally has at least one or two guys who will become big stars/superstars. Pritchard got Roy and Aldridge out of was supposed to be (and, really, was) a weak draft. If Pritchard moves up targeting someone, I'll be pretty excited about that player.

    The draft gurus certainly undervalued Brandon Roy and several others over the years.

    Maybe but I don't know about his basketball IQ being that much higher then Bayless. I do like Flynn but if they were both in this year draft I would still rather have Bayless then Flynn.

    The guy got hot at the tourny for a few games and now he's the next Chris Paul? Heh, the same people who wanted to "draft the 'stash". Yeah, that would have been a great pick as well.

    That type of thinking takes a lot of peyote.
