#6 Dion Waiters
#11 Jeremy Lamb/Meyers Leonard/Damian Lillard/Austin Rivers/Moe Harkless/Kendall Marshall

I hope not. I guess if it was Lillard at 11 that would be okay.

#6 Dion Waiters

Yikes. Reaching at #6 a little bit (Should I really be shocked, giving your bromance with the dude).

Poor reporting on Haynes' part, IMO

Blazers GM Neil Olshey on plans for No. 6 and No. 11 & recent trade talk call volume: "Right now, we are [planning to keep the picks]... I think things will heat up over the next few days, in terms of call volume but right now we intend on using both selections... [Trade call volume] is still a little sporadic.I think it's an interesting offseason... A lot of teams have the flexibility if they don't solve their problem on Draft day by a trade or using the pick, teams have money to spend."

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I hope not. I guess if it was Lillard at 11 that would be okay.

My thoughts, too.

It'd be more likely Lillard at 6, Waiters at 11, though.

But I'd be surprised if we drafted both of these two players together.

Why is it poor reporting?

It's really not reaching at all. The Warriors want him badly at #7. This would be a solid pick.

Yeah, makes it sound like we're keeping the picks. It's just early - things always heat up those last few days up to the draft.

Nathan Begley: I wonder who Blazer fans are going to get mad at Neil Oshey for passing on. 2 minutes ago

Could very well be the case.

Says you.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Could very well be the case.

But he says it like he forgets that the Knicks boo every pick they make.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Begley dropping a hint, maybe?

How would he know?

The really great/scary/intriguing thing about Lillard is that so many scouts have him projected so many different ways. Most everyone thought Martell would be a bleh player

I think Lillard is the BPA at #6, though another player might fall to tempt Olshey.

If Lillar is the BPA available then I'm all for taking him, sure its a bonus we have a hole at PG and SG he could possibly fill in at. I just hope we don't pass on a superior prospect such as MKG, TRob or Barnes if they fall to us.

Oh ya, I agree. If one of those guys is on a higher tier then take him for sure.

T.Rob will for sure be gone by #3... most likely #2.

Don't be too sure.

Jason Jones ‏@mr_jasonjones
Back at work...Kings workout...Moultrie injured his ankle and isn't chatting with the media.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Don't be too sure.

Wanna bet on it?

 

[Duckhook]

SI is reporting Sullinger will not be invited to the NBA Draft...

NOT THAT SURPRISING

 

[Mediocre Man]

Wanna bet on it?

Bet on what the Bobcats will do? LOL no.

I think he is easily the second best player, but I also think teams drafting up there like Beal as well, who is probably 3rd best

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

You didn't just bump this thread for that old news.

NBA Guru ‏@NBAGuru
At least 1 son of a former NBA player has been chosen in the last NINE NBA drafts. It'll be 10 with Austin Rivers this year.


Next year it will be 11 with James McAdoo

Lamb seems to be overcoming that earlier interview (which was overblown)

Just listened to his interview and it was about as normal as it gets.

He's also super talented

I will have to listen later. If he comes off as having a brain, then we need to take him.

At #11, not #6.

 

[Mediocre Man]

At #11, not #6.

Probably the 1st or 2nd most talented player in the draft. Why not 6?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

IMO he's not the BPA with Waiters or Drummond on the board.

Because he wants Waiters (LOL) at #6.
