Someone who can do so knowledgeably... compare and contrast Okpala with Siakam. Am I way off here?

Thing is these are highlights. No one is saying Okpala can't do it. The questions seem to be about his motor and why he doesn't do it more often with his obvious gifts.

at #25 in this draft, not sure we can hope for more. I think he's a rotational player in the NBA in 2-3 yrs. All the tools are there

He might be. I wouldn't be devastated if he ended up a Blazer. There just are players I like even more who might be there or almost certainly will be there. Obviously, Bazley is my guy, although he has a lot of helium right now. But if Baz and KZ both were available at 25 and the Blazers don't trade down, I would take Bazley every time. Just my preference. More upside. Better prospect coming out of HS.

Eric Paschall is the next Draymond. Nice 3 point shot, good defender, solid passer and has nice leaping ability. Has been a winner at Nova and could play minutes right away.

He interests me - I notice that when I first asked about him about a month ago he was middle second-round on NBADraft.net (it's no DraftExpress, but it's free), but now he's at 24! Meanwhile Grant Williams has moved way in the opposite direction.

we know absolutely nothing about bazley. KZ has actually played and done well against top competition

We knew nothing about Simons either. Sometimes talent is obvious, and it’s not like teams just start scouting players when they hit college. He was a top 20 recruit.
 
I think another thing to keep in mind is last year when Olshey gave his post draft press conference, he talked about how at the bottom half of the first you’re looking for upside/ceiling. What was interesting about that comment was the year before he took Biggie, the antithesis of that philosophy. I think he learned from his mistake, and if we stick at 25, look for him to take another high upside guy.

I'm worried about Boston, Atlanta, and now Memphis taking Bazley ahead of us.

It's funny how much these parrot nbadraft.net's.

Also, nbadraft.net just came out with their non-idiotic mock draft just in time for the draft! Just like they do every single year... haha.

I pretty much go for need of team.

Add in movers and shakers.
 
What time is the draft, and which site's "draft show" will each of you be watching?
 
Lets hope Bazley is stil available at 25 and more important that the Blazers also pick him up. We have to go for the player with the highest upside as a small Market Franchise
