2012 Mock Draft (Blazers): Pick #4

[Fez Hammersticks]

I think some of the frequent non-Blazer fans ought to break the tie (BJM, '44thilla, etc.)

Scouting Drummond:

4:00 starts with his weaknesses, his offense is pretty ugly. 28.5%FT is very scary. I still like him, but I definitely wouldn't move up to get him.

I'm not sure his offense is much worse than Oden's was. His touch is a bit better. The free throw thing does concern me a lot. 50% is bad, 30% can keep you on the bench.

Not that Oden looked like Tim Duncan in the post

But teams were forced to double team him in the post. If not he could just back his man down for a dunk or get fouled. Freakishly strong.

I don't think Drummond is quite that strong.

I voted for Barnes; but I would definitively take Drummond over Beal.

 

[Ed O]

We've got a bit of a lead here, but I'm going to leave it open for the full time and post pick #5 later today (which probably shouldn't go two full days, but you never know...)

Ed O.

I've got a solution... I eagerly await the results of the combine's anthropometric testing.

Is that where each does his best Chuck E. Cheese impersonation?

Drummond just intentionally LOST weight, he wants to be quicker.
