Draft Philosophy: 3 OR D?

[Natebishop3]

if you're using tisse/2nds to move up that's fine but brogdon or firsts to move up is a no no, IMO.

Brogdon is basically only worth a first, so if we can get the 10th or 11th for Brogdon, that’s a good deal.

I haven't seen this guy on any mocks. You could say there's a reason for that, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone gave him a chance. I think he's the best 3 & D guy in the draft, just ahead of his teammate Ja'Kobe Walter.

Not in this draft! No more 2024 picks! Please!

I’m not sure anyone is gonna give us a 2025 pick for him. And I love the idea of getting another pick in the lottery in a draft that people are undervaluing.

I’d be fine being wrong about that later. Why not be patient? Per Highkin these were the types of picks available at the deadline that the Blazers passed on.

Bingo, good find, I like this kid.

We have guys who are great defenders who can't shoot.

Thybulle
Camara

We need shooters. This is why I'm so intrigued by Knecht.

That's why it was so stupid to match the Thybulle contract. Pushes us into the luxury tax and solves zero need.
