As arguments about Richardson are spilling across multiple threads, I thought we should silo them into one specialized thread instead. Have at it!

Elite shooter
Elite finisher at the rim
+defender
Can play point - Izzo played him off the ball for over 1/2 the season.

In the modern era, your PG has to be able to shoot. With Jase’s jumper and his ability to get to the rim, he’ll add a dynamic that Scoot just hasn’t proved that he can do on a consistent bases.

In the playoffs teams will hunt for Scoot in the
form of forcing him to shoot.

Jase shot 50% on wide open threes - you can’t leave him open.

You let Scoot or Jase earn the starting job.
No more coddling for three+ years.

All things????


Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here
Short people are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's a wonderful world)
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love
They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here

With the 11th? I don't know if I draft anyone of them. If we trade for another first rounder further down, then Jace or Nique.
 
I really like Jase.

His combination of body contortion, touch around the rim, and slick footwork + body control to get off and make tough shots in the mid range / floater area make him very intriguing. Finishes through contact really well too despite his size. Pair that with his shooting, low mistake game, ability to toggle on and off the ball seamlessly and the feel and competitiveness on defense and you have a player with a lot of different paths to becoming a good NBA player even if the doesn't develop into a pure point guard.

He will need to continue to add weight, especially to help him defensively. He has trouble anchoring right now and carries most of his weight in his mid section like his dad did.

Like I've posted in the past, I don't think he's the absolute best fit but I like his ceiling more than anyone projected to be in our range minus maybe Coward, Essengue and Queen and that's what you shoot for in the draft.

Also, Tankathon has his birthday listed incorrectly. He's an October 2005 birthday and will be 20 before the season starts.

Payton Pritchard?
 
Here's a comp of a player previously taken at the #11 spot:

Picking Jase at 11, I think the Blazers would be finding a player that will have a high likelihood of a solid NBA career. This wouldn't be a swing for the fences pick, but I also don't think it would be a bunt or single pick either. I would consider this a sold double. And picking at #11, and looking at the Blazers roster, I'm good with a double. (Did I just use a baseball analogy on a basketball forum? Ugh)

At 11, a reasonable expectation is getting a starting player or 6th man (using terminology from the 2009 Roland Beech analysis http://82games.com/nbadraftpicks.htm). 15% chance of a star. 15% chance of a solid player. 30% role player. 35% deep bench. I have not seen a more recent analysis like this, though The Ringer and others try to help fans with draft expectations.

Taking a “big swing” is to get closer to a star than a solid player/starter. For me in this draft, that’s Essengue and Demin. At 11, even with the risk but with enough intell, getting a positionally appropriate-sized guy who D’s up and shoots well is less likely to be a star. Perhaps, a #2 or #3 guy on a team if he hits, but a 6th or 7th man if he develops — Bryant and Coward. Jakucionis fits as a really good, “safe” pick for Portland.

After missing by one number on one lottery ball in consecutive lotteries, some good fortune and the skill of Schmitz and others will maximize the pick … I hope. If I was confident that Jase would (1) end up as a PG and (2) be somewhere between Pritchard and Brunson, then make that pick every time. As a 2, it’s not just the concern what he scores versus what he gives up; it’s his effect on teammates on D.

Poor take. He's much closer to Tyrese Maxey than Damon Stoudamire. In skills and size.

In real life do people address you as Mrs Richardson? You’re going to great lengths to defend your boy

I always look out for the little guy.

Plus? "Mrs" Richardson? In 2025? I expected better.

You've been so over the top defensive of such a clear liability on D what other logical conclusion could a Trailblazer fan come to? Love how you chose Maxey as a physical comparison since (& I'm sure you know this) he didn't attend the predraft and so wasn't measured. Maxey is listed & seems legitamately 20+ pounds heavier though, which is important to avoid being repeatedly bullied by larger PGs let alone Wings who Jase absolutely will be switched off onto. Maxey is also clearly very long & extremely athletic which helps him not be overwhelmed when switched off on 2s and 3s. Jase is clearly a full size smaller then him which is why I do not expect Portland management to consider him as he'd be a terrible match alongside Scoot... my guess is they're handing the keys to Henderson this season to sink or swim. Height/length/weight no matter how you want to parse things Jase is smaller then most anyone else in the league and at the combine he tested as a good not great athlete. Bless his heart, defense will always be a very real issue for him, much like it was for little guy Damon

(BTW: I voted for Nique in the poll in this thread, FWIW. I just think combine measurements are way less important than actual results in playing basketball in assessing prospects. My main problem with Nique is that he's 3 years 8 months older than Jase. Jase as a freshman is clearly more advanced. But I love me a guard that rebounds, so help me.)

this is you trying to divert attention rather then accept clear reality. Obviously you dug trying to come up with a current relevant player who is his size & failed
