1st seed Damian Lillard vs 14th seed Nolan Smith 2nd seed LaMarcus Aldridge vs 13th seed Ronnie Price --- Can you believe it? 3rd seed Nicolas Batum vs vs 12th seed Jared Jeffries 4th seed Wesley Matthews vs 11th seed Victor Claver 5th seed JJ Hickson vs 10th seed Joel Freeland 6th seed Myers Leonard vs 9th seed Will Barton 7th seed Sasha Pavlovic vs 8th seed Luke Babbitt Though I think the seeds are a little off - shouldn't it be LMA vs Freeland, Hickson vs Leonard, and Price vs Barton?
I kind of went off seeding them according to the contribution I think they have made this year. Although Freeland and Jeffries probably should have been swapped in ranks. However, I can't see matching Hickson with Leonard because that would mean Leonard is a 10th seed and while he hasn't been great this year he has been better then most (or all) of our bench.
I hear ya - I was thinking of matching by position. And even though I'd like to think that Leonard would be higher than 10th seed, I don't know if he actually is... I like him, but...
1st seed Damian Lillard 2nd seed LaMarcus Aldridge 3rd seed Nicolas Batum 4th seed Wesley Matthews 5th seed JJ Hickson 6th seed Myers Leonard 8th seed Luke Babbitt
Highest remaining seed will probably get a bye in the second round. I thought about throwing Eliott Williams and Coach Stotts or Coby Karl in there to make it 16 but didn't do it. Now a little late for that.
