All I was trying to do is illustrate why using Klay as a reason to be optimistic about Landry's D projection is suspect at best and that regardless of what you may think about his lat. quicks or IQ, his lacking tools otherwise will hold him back from being a positive defender imo.

There's is literally no player that I can remember with his height, length and weight plus statistical profile that has went on to be even a decent defender in NBA.
Courtney Lee.
 
Trail Blazers June 14 predraft workout: Oregon F Troy Brown, Oregon F MiKyle McIntosh, USC G De’Anthony Melton, Georgia Tech G Josh Okogie, Kansas/Igokea F/C Billy Preston, Wichita State G Landry Shamet, Creighton G Khyri Thomas.

Billy Preston was good enough to play with the Beatles. I say we draft him.......
 
Owner Paul Allen has yet to attend one of the four workouts this month. Usually, Allen’s attendance is a sure sign that day’s prospects are targets to be drafted by Portland.

Why would PA attend these workouts when we've promised Hutchison already lol.

That could be true, but word is Chicago was the team that promised him, and Olshey is on record saying he doesn’t like making promises to prospects.

I know I was mainly being sarcastic as to why PA wouldn't be there haha
 
I still like the suggestion that Knicks writer made.

Leonard and 24 for Lee and their second.

It’d also allow us to play around with the TPE, maybe do that Faried/14 deal.
 
Swanigan, Baldwin and Lillard are at all these workouts....I'd say we're developing Swanigan and Baldwin to keep on the roster at this point

Layman is there too, doesn’t mean much. I can’t see either one going anywhere though.
 


Guy doesn’t look anywhere near ready physically but is an interesting developmental project.
 
First buzz I've heard about Portland and a prospect.
 
De'Anthony Melton is a player that intrigues me...
Me too. If we go defensive 3rd guard, he's the best of the bunch to me.

Size and offense probably limits his ceiling to quality rotation player, but he has elite POA and team defensive IQ/instincts.
 
Yeah, Damian isn't going anywhere. You never saw LaMarcus doing this.
True leadership...a rare quality...Chauncey Billups will be a GM one day because he did this his whole career...a true student of the game

Yeah he seems like he's a couple of years away, I wonder what Dame would think of that?

You know how we basically sit around and talk basketball? You know how you do it with your friends, co-workers etc?

I don't think there's one GM on the planet that doesn't do that with most of his players. Also, I don't think there's one GM that doesn't have have an intimate relationship with a player he drafts that becomes the best on the team. And, I'd wager to say most GMs at least make a good attempt at having a good relationship with the team's best player if they draft them our not.

MFs in here that act like that same GM shouldn't consult said player about adding players to the roster. Players the best player may have to coexist with for years.

You'd consult your best player EVERY time and you'd be smart to do that. Or you'd be STUPID and add Detlef Schrempf to an already loaded roster.
