So, is Gobert our guy @ 10?

I don't think so, if Zeller is available which he might be I think we have to take Zeller. Such a tough draft

Hope not.

I'd take Shabazz, Dieng, Len or Zeller over him.

I just saw it on Yahoo. They have Len going to New Orleans, and Shabazz going to Minny.

every draft mock I saw the past few daze has a different order, just shows you the diverse opinions on the talent in this crappy draft

The Blazers were the only top10 lotto team to NOT interview Len at the combine.

Before the injury he was very intriguing with his skillset on the offensive end.

Every prospect you come across you think should be drafted lower...but someones gotta go high LOL.

I look at a LOT of these mock drafts from the major sites, that is a consensues of their forum "users" and probably the worst consistently that I have seen

Was reading somewhere that often times teams won't bother if they are already planning on having the guy in for a visit.

Oladipo falls to #10? Dream scenario for us.....but the odds are effectively zero.

Shane Larkin drops to #38? He was a freak at the Combine, and he falls out of the first round? I'd trade up to get him early in the 2nd, if that's the case.

Agreed.

Glad S2 are seeing the potential in Larkin.

Pretty much anybody who picked Miami to win the tourney saw the potential in Larkin. Not like you're breaking new ground here, Fez.

Shh, let him believe.

Whats the new fascination with under 6'0" guards? Every year there's plenty of them that thrive in college. Then they can't hang in the league.

That's the same thing people said when they didn't want the Blazers to draft CP3. And there were of lot of them as I recall.

Chris Paul is 6'1" with a 6'4" wingspan. Larkin is 5'10" with a 5'10" wingspan.

Other than Larkin, which guards in this draft are you talking about?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Chris Paul is 6'1" with a 6'4" wingspan. Larkin is 5'10" with a 5'10" wingspan.

Chris Paul is listed at 6' in every site I checked, which means he is at least a hair under. And I am still pissed we passed on him. (Even if he is a whiny little bitch)

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Larkin would have a specific bench role like how Dallas used Barea. He won't be guarding the CP3's or Westbrook's.

Lillard will, but I can't imagine Larkin being any worse than what Lillard showed last year.

5'11.75" without shoes
6'1" with shoes
6'4.25" wingspan

Has anyone seen any workouts scheduled with Portland?

I know Wolters has already worked out with the Lakers.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Karasev is in play at #9 -- I thought Kahn was fired?

 

[Blazer4ever]

There's a guy from Iowa State who's a lot like Barea - Aaron Craft.

 

[MickZagger]

Siva, Burke (I think will be a decent player in a DJ Augustine kinda way, but shouldn't be lottery), Isaih Canaan....

No...
