An "A" draft for Portland? Maybe not.

[MarAzul]

drafting based on need has got Portland Martel Webster instead of Chris Paul, Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan and Luke Babbitt instead of a talented player.

Had you seen Sam Bowie play before the draft? I was really pleased we got that fella.

I had no Idea we needed Babbitt though.

These guys thought we'd hit a homerun if he fell to #10.

They thought he should have gone in the top-5.

Amazing prediction that he has one of the highest possibilities to be an allstar.

the missing two years with a bad injury was a rather big red flag.

umm, well last year only Hickson did it with a higher percentage and he has no where near the range.

High FG% doesn't always means he's a good shooter.

And what have you been shooting?

..."the soonest of all the players in the draft." Rookie of the Year?

^No way he wins rookie of the year......NO WAY!

 

[THE HCP]

Most likely be our 6th man.........with Nic,Wes,LA and Dame.......he'll be lucky to get 10 shots a game. I like this guys from what I've seen, but he'll be lucky to average opts/2dimes

100%, right under neath the hoop.

I will take the over on that (except for shots).

I don't gamble, could you explain what this means? You agreeing with me FAMS?

Read what you wrote again for what you think his numbers will be. Mistype.

DAMN! I meant 9 pts son!

Olshey set up Lillard to succeed by giving him no backup. Olshey favors his own picks. I bet McCollum gets a lot of minutes and wins ROY.

You honestly think this guy will win rookie of the year with all the scoring vets we have?

 

[jlprk]

You doubt my honesty??!!

 

[THE HCP]

No, just your lack of common sense.

I doubt you changed your underwear. Now rep me bitch before you get an eyeful!

Only if you rep me first and give me 5 tabs of orange sunshine!

We drafted in the opposite order of Positions Most Needed. We needed, in order, C, PF, PG. We drafted, in order, a starting-quality undersized SG, a Rudy-quality catch-and-shoot SG, and a Pendergraph-quality C. Those optimistic quality estimates are future, not present.

Olshey drafted by best player available, not by position most needed. The next 3 weeks will determine whether he gets a center. He may not even want to complete this team for another year, to keep our 2014 protected-top-12 pick.

When grading a draft, you consider 1) did the GM use BPA or position most needed philosophy, 2) was he lazy or did he pursue trades, e..g trade up, 3) will he compensate for draft weaknesses with summer FA signings, 4) is he keeping the team crappy on purpose waiting for future needle-movers.

That was brilliant, jlprk. Can I be like you, big guy?

If you continue to insult jlprk like that I will have to ban you.
