Monty Williams apparently loves the kid....and he doesn't have a lot of high praise for rookies in general....

I would probably have faith that they see something I don't, but Rivers or Soup Guy at 6 is my worst nightmare (unless we are picking at 4).

The Soup Juggler

Commit or be taunted a second time

Blazers owner Paul Allen has made at least one trade in eight consecutive NBA Drafts.

I expect no differently this year - though I wouldn't be surprised if it was as simple as using our 2 2nd rounders to move up or trade 1 2nd rounder for a future pick.
 
LOL, crazy draft when Rivers gets mentioned for the #6, the smokescreen machines are starting to smoke themselves as they get severely overworked
 
A consensus has emerged the past few days amongst NBA teams regarding Neil Olshey's intentions with this pick. It once appeared that Lillard would be available with the Blazers' later lottery pick (No. 11). But the likes of Golden State, Toronto and New Orleans have fallen hard for the point guard. Lillard had one of those mythical one-on-zero workouts where he could not miss, causing Portland to decide that he is its pick here.


Maybe already poste here . . . this is comes from Yahoo mock draft that up until yesterday had us picking drummonds.

Elite athleticism, chip on his shoulder, willing and capable passer, good shooter, likes defense...does that help?

I'm not buying this. The guy went to "prove self" at the combine but played against second round guys and scheduled solo workouts only. If he had a chip on his shoulder he'd have to problem going up against Rivers, Beal, Lamb, Marshall, etc.

He didn't.

I like Lillard but have to disagree with the "elite athleticism" part, yes he can jump hign but his agiity scores and sprint were pedestrian results for a PG, and IMO quickness is more important than jumping high for a pG especially. Again I like him but he does not posess "elite athleticism"

It's on the blazer workout video. He was asked point blank, tried to say nothing really, but was clear "if he decides to work" makes some comments about him not really warming up (just showing up and going), and then kind of smiles at the camera like "yeah, you can print that--I think I answered that politically correct." Not a glowing endorsement, but hard to tell because Lamb doesn't get excited about much.

I'm surprised that Jeremy Lamb knew who Andre Drummond was. :MARIS61:

Better lane agility than Rose, .08 worse than Curry and .17 worse than Westbrook.

His agent had nothing to do with it...

Kinda like Waiters agent didn't want him doing vert or agility testing...
 
And all those numbers are within the experimental error of the guy timing them. They are all pretty much even. If Blazers pass on Lillard for someone else I will feel confident they had some great inside information. But I still like Lillard and believe he will do well.

He's picked at least 1 PG in the last eight as well.

Nolan, Armon, Patty, Bayless, Koponen and Green, Sergio, Jack, Telfair.
