Exclusive 2023 NBA Draft

[Ed O]

Blazers social media accounts all pushing Scoot hard.

This is hopefully a harbinger.

 

[TheGoldRanger]

Jordan Hawkins at 14

 

[Chris Craig]

Maybe cam whitmore will fall to us at 23 lol

Doubt it. There are 8 teams ahead of us who can't believe he is there.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Jay Billas…..”Scoot is exactly like Russell Westbrook!”
#BAM

Except he's not an asshole to yard maintenance guys at Subway.

 

[Portland2014]

Whitmore is gonna fall to the Lakers or Warriors fuck

 

[Ed O]

Did that analyst just compare Hawkins to Jeremy Lamb?!?

It may be accurate, but it's not very complimentary. Haha

Jordan Hawkins giving my favorite interview of the night so far.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Whitmore had some medical red flags.

 

[ehizzy3]

Someone drafted a bumpkin

I've thought he most resembled Rip Hamilton (with more range) in playing style.

All 3 from UConn

 

[illmatic99]

so far we've had 1 trade involving players during this draft.

and two trades involving pick shuffling.

thought there would be more activity after all the fuss the media was making. wonder if the CBA still not being ratified is leading to some hesitancy in moves.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Lakers getting Cam probably

 

[blazerkor]

Lakers getting Cam probably

Nope, Shams just posted that they passed on him too.

LeBron being drafted 20 years ago makes me feel old.

3. Brandon Miller (Portland)
4. Amen Thompson (Houston)
5. Cam Whitmore (Detroit)
6. Ausar Thompson (Orlando)

Jett Howard is the only guy picked so far that wasn't in our top 18. That's pretty impressive, I think. Good job, guys!

Personally I have these three as my top wants for the Blazers:

• Cam Whitmore (assuming he's not dead)
• Leonard Miller
• Noah Clowney

 

[Sloth]

If Whitmore falls to us, be hard to pass on him. But how bad is his injury?

 

[Blazinaway]

worth moving up for? even if he has to sit out a year, what is injury?

 

[Sloth]

Don't know if worth moving up for, and yes is a big deal for a young player to sit out a year, really hampers their progress. If it's that bad of an issue, prefer to take Miller or Clowney.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Went out and worked in the garden for a half hour, hoping something happened,,, But it didn't.

 

[blazerkor]

Miami takes Jaquez

 

[BBert]

Come on Blazers. Trade for Cam!
