    Scoot Henderson.

    Nah. I told my kids that if anyone but Wemby goes first I’d give them each $1,000.

    I heard Miller is 6'8"-6'9"

    clearly way too tall to be a Blazer

    Scoot & Amen meet the max height allowed in Portland

    I would love to find out some of the ridiculous offers being made to SA for that pick right now.

    I see the official time listed as 5pm but I also see times of 4:30 which may mean 30 minutes of flatulence.

    Supposedly Adam Silver will walk to the podium moments after 8pm, say some stuff and then put the Spurs on the clock. Luckily someone on here told me I wouldn't have to listen to Steph A. dumbass if I tuned in to ESPN instead of ABC.

    You think the Spurs would actually field any?

    Do you buy the Wembenyama hype?

    Yeah ESPN has 30 minutes before the actual event and supposedly once it starts at 5 Silver will go to the podium moments later.

    I buy it I've watched a bunch of video on him and seen like 5 of his games on the NBA app. The dude is so good at everything and when he moves he doesn't look like he's going to break, he's fluid. Just an absolute freak and there are a ton of good reasons that he's being called the best prospect since LeBron.

    after all of the chatter and they-will/they-won't-he-will/he-won't angst & confusion over the last 3 months, I honestly have no idea what to expect from Portland this afternoon, tonight, tomorrow, and July. No fucking clue...no expectations

    I suppose that's a good place to be to watch the draft

    Since I probably won’t be here during the draft…

    Some place, some where, some chicken is really proud.

    You just know that if he ends up being the Blazers’ pick we’re going to find out later he’s only 6’5 but plays with 3” lifts.

    No, I don't think they'd consider it for a second. However, you know there were calls to them.

    And yes, I believe every word of it. Furthermore, he couldn't have gone to a better organization to bring out all the talent he has. Beyond Pop, you have TD teaching him. Even the Tony Parker French link seems serendipitous.

    For us out-of-towners, which Portland sports radio station is the best one to listen to for Blazer NBA predraft?

    620AM would be the most Blazer-focused, but their guys can be unbearable at times. 1080 guys are most professional, but often too smug for their own good.

    I'll be on my commute home. Any suggestion on where to listen in? I guess I can just find a stream on my phone and cast that...
