Grade The Draft

[ABM]

What say you?

 

[3RA1N1AC]

B i guess

got good value at 10 and 32, thats all you can hope for at this point

whether they pan out is anybodys guess

 

[RoyToy]

B -

 

[ABM]

Early on appears to be a solid B to me. All good picks at the time. A decent trade.

 

[PapaG]

LMA isn't traded = F-

 

[ABM]

Meant to make this a poll. Sorry about that.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

B easy

 

[ABM]

LMA isn't traded = F-

Terrible reason to grade a draft on.

 

[Blazinaway]

B, but am bummed that we did not go after Koufus, especially with what it cost. I know Koufus is not "the" answer but hell he is at least a decent starting C on a really cheap contract, I have to assume Olshey has someting very likely in the works at C

 

[RoyToy]

Not enough upside in this group

Leaves me a little flat

Oh bullpucky!

 

[ABM]

Oh bullpucky!

Aldridge may very well be traded this summer and this could still become a very solid draft.

 

[Tortimer]

I think a B+ or A- considering where we drafted CJ and Crabbe at 10 and 31.

 

[Chuck Taylor]

i say A-

 

[Further]

I'd say B, except I don't think we have all the info yet. I want to revisit in the light of day.

 

[maxiep]

Of all the picks from a value perspective, I like Crabbe the best. I'm interested to see how Lillard and McCollum play together. Jerrett and the Montenegrin Joel Freeland are stash and hopes.

Overall, I'd say it was an average draft, so I'll give it a C.

 

[EGame]

Yeah I'd say B+ or A- as well. We got good players for where we picked. Well technically we didn't pick Crabbe, but got him for two future 2nds so no biggie there. The rest is meh, though.

What about Grant Jerrett? Parade Magazine All-American honors and California's Gatorade Player of the Year award. This guy may have been a disappointment his one year in college, but he has quite a bit of upside for a 2nd round pick.

Brian.

Cook.

 

[Reep]

A-

McCollum is a good fit and nice scoring off the bench, which we need. Also a much needed backup who can score. Crabbe was a nice pickup. I like Whitey (jk) as a guy who can come in and defend for a few minutes. Don't know about the rest. If they could have pulled in Dieng, Gobert or Nog it would have been A+

 

[oldmangrouch]

B.

The team wasn't going to solve all their problems in this draft, but they solved one of them. (lack of bench scoring) Given what they had to work with, what more could we really expect?

 

[Further]

To make it an A, the Blazers would have needed to move up to snag one of the fallen Noel, Len or McLemore.

 

[Haakzilla]

-A!

 

[HailBlazers]

Meant to make this a poll. Sorry about that.

F for ABM

B + for the Blazers

 

[jlprk]

Silver is always breathless, as if he just finished a sprint. He is inflexible when attempting a smooth reaction to the unexpected. He will not last.

F.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

A for McCollum

 

[jlprk]

I give him 2 years as Commish.

 

[magnifier661]

A. I think our gm didn't draft need and really got the BPA. That's a damn good sign!

 

[Haakzilla]

-A!

...Crabbe was a steal! Withey is a solid back-up with a much needed focus on D and rebounding. Jerrett is basically LMA lite. And the Euro is just that, another Euro. And getting the most NBA ready player in the first round made this an easy A-

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

A for McCollum

Dude, you're so bad at spelling it's ridiculous.
