He's a hell of a shooter, no question.

Whether he can defend ANYONE at the NBA level and whether he can get his shot off in the NBA are the two key questions.

if he could be our matt bonner i would be happy

Or Kyle Korver.

Hell... I'd take Jason Kapono.

We'll see... he's a mid-second rounder. I don't have high hopes but I'm not really upset in any case over that pick (although I'm getting sick of major college seniors).

Well, if he can just do what Rudy was supposed to do (shoot), he'll be OK.

Rudy can run the floor pretty well, and he plays passing lanes extremely well.

I don't think Diebler can do either of those things.

Ed O.

Yeah, he CAN, but he wasn't allowed to do that here anyways, so Diebler only needs to replace Rudy's role on this team which was spot up shooter.

Ed O.

Can't run the floor? He'll fit right in with our walk-it-up-the-floor offense.

Definitely a Nate pick.

Gramps...

He's our Luke Babbitt, only cheaper. Because Pritchard's gone, we didn't have to pay to switch picks.

We've got a Luke Babbitt, though, and he's on a guaranteed contract for a bit longer. We should wait a couple of years before we seek to replace him with a cheaper model

Babbitt, though, can rebound, at least. Diebler is just a shooter. A great shooter, of course. But just a shooter.

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Is he the new Tracy Murray?

The Ohio State campus paper The Lantern, from the first post:

Diebler hit 10 consecutive 3-pointers in a March 13 game against Penn State

But NBA.com says he made 9 straight and 10 in the game. Next game, he missed 3, then hit 7 straight.

Diebler holds the Big Ten record for career three-pointers with 374. A school-record 10 of those came in one game at Penn State. Diebler made 10-of-12 shots from behind the arc in that game, including nine in a row en route to a career-high 30 points. He followed that with a 27-point effort against Wisconsin where he made seven-of-eight 3-pointers. After missing his first three, he made his next seven.

He certainly has no fear of shooting the 3 and attempting it at all sides of the court. Watch this video.

Diebler sounds like Diener, who played for us in 2008-09.

Besides Diebler, Blazer draftees from Ohio State have been Greg Oden (2007) and Granville Waiters (1983).

Some posters compare Diebler to Kyle Korver (from Creighton). I just noticed that like Diebler, Korver was a #51 pick (2003). Lawrence Funderburke (1994) was #51, too, and was from Ohio State, too, but wasn't a Blazer.

Sounds more like Bieber, Justin. Who is apparently some sort of teen idol, not sure.

Its obvious that the Blazer staff saw something in him when he worked out in the Tualatin practice facility. Yes, I agree he needs to work on his pump fakes to shake off the defender for him to dribble around and shoot. If he takes too long to shoot his shots will be blocked. However he has a good pose on his shooting and doesn't seem to miss much regardless on the range away from the basket from the youtube link that I posted earlier.

Here I am hard at work searching databases for coincidences in the #51 spot and you're thinking about Justin Bieber. Of course he's a teenage idol. I have a stack of his albums right here on top of the computer and I'm singing to them while I search for coincidences.

I'm trying to keep you focused on the important stuff.

You've never done accounting, have you. You think the big boys look for important stuff. It's the teeny-weeny stuff they can control you with.

Gotta stay on my toes all the time. Okay, back to the databases.

Wouldn't that be seven-of-ten, not seven-of-eight 3-pointers?

Since I was OD on valium and morphine last Sunday and was sent to ER and back I've been a little confuse at times so I could be wrong.

 

[jlprk]

Your arithmetic is right! Gimme some of that good stuff!

Sportsline says he made 10, not 9, in a row.
http://www.cbssports.com/#!/nba/draft/players/1333500/jon-diebler

On March 1, Diebler made 10 3-pointers in a row while finishing 10-of-12 vs. Penn State, breaking the Ohio State record for most treys in a game. On March 6th, 2011 during Ohio State's senior day, Diebler made seven 3-pointers finishing with 27 points vs. Wisconsin.

Surrounded by Fs, we got a D. Success, a D!

Ouch! An F surrounded by Bs for Nolan Smith! Oweee!

http://www.cbssports.com/#!/nba/story/15260158

No. 21: Trail Blazers select: Nolan Smith, PG, Duke
Analysis: There's a reason basketballs don't bounce high in Portland, and it has nothing to do with the rain. Nobody takes the air out of the ball better than Andre Miller. But this new guy could challenge him.�

Somebody isn't rollin' with Nolan!
