"Draft Caps Good Week for Jon Diebler"

Yes, Ed., he is TWENTY-THREE YEARS OLD!!!!

Why do we keep drafting washed up old men?

Diebler can actually get his shot off. Babbitt has a slow trigger.

On a side note....JFizzleRaider, love your avatar. I actually still have that SI of POY Gary Payton in pretty damn good condition.

Love the cover. Payton is an all-time great. Wish I would have been a little older to have seen him at OSU.

The Blazers keep trying to draft guys who are "ready to play"... but that's not smart when you consider a 22 year-old SHOULD look good against his younger peers at the NCAA level.

I have nothing against the Diebler pick, though. He's a one-trick pony and the odds are long that he ever makes any sort of impact in the NBA... but it was a late second rounder, so I can't be too upset.

Babbit's issue is all about confidence, either he starts believing that he belongs in the NBA or he will be out of it very soon...

He is actually a crafty scorer...I watched him get off shots in the paint (in the limited time that he played) that I thought would have been hammered back into his face, so he has the ability to score IMO....His outside shot was spotty at best, but again a lot of that has to do with confidence IMO....the ability is there...

He looked like a deer in headlights...He has to get mentally tough or he will fail...

No comment.

In and of itself, that was a comment.

Dime: Who have you worked out for?

JD: I went to New Jersey in May for the group workout. I went to Oklahoma City. I went to the pre-draft combine in Chicago. Went to the Pacers, went to Portland, went to Phoenix, went to Memphis, went to Jersey again and then Chicago, I believe. I think that’s all of them.
