I don't know how many times I have said that all it takes is a little luck late in the draft and you suddenly fill your position of need. Did we finally get lucky?
Is Little our Draymond. Every year there are players who fall or are overlooked. Kuzma would have been a good get two years ago at SF. Hopefully this makes up for it.

I don't understand this video.
He is saying that Nassir is a potential #1 pick, yet his ball-handling doesn't look that good, outside shooting looks amateurish, he says he has bad feel for the game.

Seems like a guy who might be a good role player in the NBA, why was he projected to be a top pick?
Did he improve on any one of those aspects since then? i'm guessing he didn't and that's why his stock went down so much.

And then i see you guys get excited and i get even more confused...

Man among boys. He and Zion looked better than everyone else.

I don't care too much about physique...

I do believe in the effect of NBA training though. If he's a hard working dude then he will look different after a few months of NBA coaching and development.

When does summer league start for us?

July 5th - 15th. I'm keeping the OP in the summer league thread updated, so you can always check there.

Blazers should start practice 5 or so days before that.

As for him being a hard worker, he was doing 2-a-days in the weight room, and 2-a-days in "skill work".
4.2 GPA.

Basically, he's an animal.
 
So happy with this pick. Fell asleep right after as I could no longer fight my pain meds. Woke up later to see the Blazers signed Hoard to a two way. We didn't move Turner, but it was a good draft.

Look at it like this:
We moved up to the 12th pick in the draft and drafted a super-athlete in a positional need, and all it cost us was keeping Turner for another year :)

Till the deadline
 
Harkless will be traded soon. Curry, Hood, and Kanter will be resigned

Little’s ceiling is Kawhi/PG/Butler and his floor is Crowder/Carroll/Crash... if we split the difference he could be the next Iggy

Your floor is Crash? Gerald Wallace had an 18 year career, was an All Star and All D 1st team member. Mix in some reality... how about Rondae Hollis-Jefferson or Michael Kidd-Gilchrist? I'm hoping for the best as always, but not everyone who enters the league without a consistent J develops one.

Crash in today’s era is a better (can dribble) Aminu imo. Which is still a good player but not an all-star. Crash was a fun player but he made his name in the east on a bad team. Little has a better shot too.
 
His range coming into the draft was 8-14

Why did he slide?

He's a Gerald Wallace clone.

With a way better shot/mechanics. I think Little has potential to be a great 3&D guy and possibly more if he adds some more on ball skills.
 
I'm trying to figure out how he slipped below Thybulle. They seem to have similar abilities on defense, with similar length. True Little was less proven, but Thybulle only played zone. And Little seems to have a much better upside on offense. How do you take Thybulle over Little?

That's the beauty of the draft and why I don't get overly excited or down when a player is drafted. Each team evaluates players and although there will be many agreement on draft position, there will be those that don;t initially make sense. Time will tell but this year seems to be more wide open and unknown who can make it and who won't.

But if he has more injuries it might be that nobody gives him a chance. Better secure a minimum contract right now as there are major durability concerns.

He still has to prove himself to get a minimum contract.

More game tape/preference probably. Sixers taking him kinda shocked me though... you can’t really play him with Simmons.
 
May be totally off base here, but some of the video I saw of him reminded me of a young Jerome Kersey. Now, that would be a great outcome from this draft where, frankly, I was expecting zilch.

You're welcome to double down on your ridiculous take that Wallace is Little's floor... we should be so lucky.
