Why not, we won the last time we sent him.

You might eventually be right, but the problem is I doubt we agree to a trade until close to draft time.I think if we don't get number one you won't have to research any of them.
What! You act like the dude committed crimes against humanity. B Roy was amazing. A great Blazers. Count me, among many, who love Brandon.Don't like it. BRoy is bad juju now.

I can't imagine they would be on bad terms as both Roy and the Blazers had to agree to this.Does that mean that BRoy and Blazers Organization are back in good terms again?

I guess teams sometimes complete deals early. I think we did the Telfair trade to Boston for the Roy pick a week or two before the draft?
Agreed. I really like Bilal.Cissoko and Rupert are routinely mocked above him, but Bilal Coulibaly is easily the best French prospect for me and probably above Lively if we keep the Knicks pick and both are there.
Cissoko is a good passer that can't dribble or score really and moves like a big. Stiff Marvin Williams/Stanley Johnson vibes in that respect. Movement hurts him defensively. Gets beat a lot but has decent recovery steps and the strength and length to not be completely out of the play. Lacks quite a bit of discipline and activity defensively.
Rupert has insane length but knocked kneed, big feet and just kind of lopes around. Little bigger than Exum but I think he'll run into a lot of the same issues defensively. Question marks everywhere offensively.
Coulibably is the best overall athlete of the 3. Really fluid and rangy. Comfortable with the ball and has pretty powerful strides getting into the lane. Pairs that with really nice passing flashes, especially as an interior passer. Awesome laydown passer and has good placement and touch on passes to the roll man.
Good both on and off the ball defensively. Has the flexibility to navigate screens well at 6'6" and the length to be disruptive. Rotates well to protect the rim. I expect his standing reach to measure out really well. Can really stretch out and play big.
Definitely a time and space shooter right now. Very shaky if he has to speed up his mechanics at all. Settles a bit too much for pull ups that he's not good at right now.
Wouldn't bet on it, but there's a world that he turns out better than the Thompson twins tbh. The profile looks pretty similar. The strengths aren't as strong, especially athletically, but I think the jumper is more workable and might have a bit more talent with the ball, at least more than Amen.
If we get lucky and draft Wembanyama would you trade him for Giannis? I know much more would have to be involved.

I have him rated as the #8 best prospect in this draft.Leonard Miller was someone D69 found last year and even though he thought he should go back to school or go to college (he went to the G-League), he thought he had serious potential. Fast forward a year and he started out as a mid 2nd round pick, has jumped up into the mid to late 1st round, and some scouts are saying that by the end of the combine and workouts, he will be a Lottery pick. A guest on Raphael Barlow's show said he might go as high as #10/11.
That really isn't in Portland's range, but it's interesting to see how far he has come up in just the last part of the year. He had some MONSTER G-League games playing with Scoot on the Ignite.
Just say no to drafting anyone under 6’6, including Scoot.
There’s actually quite a bit more than two:Trivia question:
What two ex-Blazers have kids that are in this draft? (Damn I feel old. I watched their dads play.)
Hmm. I'm doubting your sources.There’s actually quite a bit more than two:
Cason (Rasheed) Wallace.
Kris (Tracy) Murray
GG (Jim) Jackson
Colby (Steve) Jones
Leonard (Andre) Miller
Terquavion (Steve) Smith
Kobe (Marcus) Brown
Scoot (Gerald) Henderson
Jarace (Wally) Walker
Hmm. I'm doubting your sources.
Jarace Walker's parents are Marcia and Horace Walker. Not ex-Blazers.
Scoot Henderson's parents are Chris and Crystal Henderson. Not ex-Blazers.
...
The two that I know of are:
- Jett Howard is the son of Juan Howard.
- Trayce Jackson-Davis is the son of Dale Davis.
