Marshall? PJIII? Zeller?

Although if Sullinger slipped this far, I think he would be the best fit (assuming you could find a PG in FA).

Beal seems to be climbing on a lot of boards to a solid 2-3. I don't really get that. He is a bit undersized, isn't terribly athletic, and has a good looking, but less than completely accurate shot. I guess he is getting credit for playing with lousy teammates who didn't make him look good, but I kind of hope he isn't on the board when we pick.

I've seen Drummond slip behind Barnes on a couple mocks. How great would that be?

Beal has a nice looking release but I didn't see anything to suggest he can slash to the rim. If we want a jumpshooter we can get Terrance Ross at 11.

Honestly, I would prefer that. Although I still think Wes is a valuable member of this team and there are other guys who would be BPA at 11.

Pretty much.

Blazers need playmakers a hell of a lot more than they need shooting. A really good PG distributor makes the shooters on this team better.

Besides....he's little. No ty.

I'll take Lamb and one of either Lillard or Marshall.
 
I wouldn't trade up for Beal at all. Wasteful. I would also avoid Marshall and Sullinger. Definitely take Lillard over Marshall.
 
I'm still hoping for someone interesting to fall to us at 6 or 7, and then take Lillard or Marshall at 11. I like both PGs for different reasons. Lillard is so efficient at scoring, and might have better skills than some think at passing. Marshall has a developing outside shot and that may be all he needs to go with his superior vision.
 
For those of us that don't subscribe to cable or are caught at work espn3 is streaming the lottery.

He was #2 on his list.

Mark me down as another who would prefer not to trade up for Beal.

I don't see a standout quality in him other than his rebounding which is unusual for a 2 guard. Florida was a pretty poor rebounding team and the other 2 guards, Walker and Boyton were non factors on the glass. You add that along with his lack of size and rather average athleticism and I don't think his rpg #'s translate totally to the next level.

He'll be a good rebounder for his position, just not elite like he was in college imo.

Chad Ford's new mock has PDX getting Drummond at 6 and Lamb at 11. Says Portland's scouts have been high on Lamb all year.
 
Watched some video of our prospects. Hmmm.

Sullinger doesn't look like he could get a shot off against an NBA center.
Drummond has some touch (more than Oden did) and is quick, but his short jump shot is one of the lowest I have seen. Kind of the anti-LMA shot.
I can see why they are looking at Zeller, etc.
