Deadline to withdraw from the NBA Draft is today. Rudy Gobert's agent texted me that he's staying in the draft.
 
Draft Express analyses the Point Guards:

Situational Statistics
Just by the numbers

Things that jump out:
Eric Green is a great scorer (and not a great distributor) without shooting a bunch of threes.
Myck Kabongo draws a lot of fouls. Shane Larkin does not.

Starting today we're doing a comprehensive overview of the 2013 Draft from an analytical point of view using both boxscore and Synergy stats

We first start with the point guard crop. Situational (Synergy) Stats: http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Situational-Statistics-the-2013-Point-Guard-Crop-4268 … and boxscore stats: http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Just-By-the-Numbers-the-2013-Point-Guard-Crop-4269 …


Having read that Erick Green might be a nice little spark off the bench for someone.

Interesting read. I love McCollum but in no way shape or form should he be listed with the PG's. Well maybe he can fill in as the 3rd string one.

These Stats are interesting to read, but you always have to remember that they are based on young players who are still developing their game. I want an advanced stat that tells which ones work the hardest and will improve the most. Because they all have to get better.
 
Reggie Bullock seems like a solid all around talent at SF. Did any of you get to see him play?

Not much, but seems like a 3 and D guy. Needs to get stronger though. Don't think he'll be there when our second rounders roll around though.

I didn't realize Withey wasn't expected to go in the 1st. If he's there with our second pick, I think that would be a solid pick.

DX: Analyzing this year's shooting guard crop by their Synergy Situational http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Situational-Statistics-the-2013-Shooting-Guard-Crop-4273 … and Boxscore stats: http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Just-By-the-Numbers-the-2013-Shooting-Guard-Crop-4272 …

Reading through this KCP really kind of stands out to me. He seems to do a lot things well and a few things great when compared to his peers anyway.

Chad, what do you think the Blazers will do if both Caldwell-Pope and McCollum are no longer available? Please tell me they won't select Steven Adams, he's Meyers Leonard 2.0.
Chad Ford (1:26 PM)

I think you have the two guys -- McCollum and Caldwell-Pope right. Both players are high on their board. I agree with you on Adams, though I think Adams is tougher and the Blazers may just need the extra body. This is way out of left field, but I'm not totally discounting a sleeper pick like Antetokounmpo or Ricky Ledo here if McCollum and Caldwell-Pope are both gone
 
I wish his name was Hank Caldwell Pope....... Then I'd get a Blazer jersey with HCP on it!


Sent from my baller ass iPad FAMS!

Maybe you can talk Aldridge into changing his name to Hemi Continental Peace.

Jesus fuck, I would be pissed if, after all the talk of "we can't take Dieng at 10!" we take a player who's ranked even lower. Please let this just be Chad Ford's love of the obscure (Pavel Podkolzine syndrome) and not anything close to reality.

Looks there is a whole series of them on you tube

There's a reason why most of these draft guys don't get picked up by teams. The Draftexpress guy is who i would go for if i had to hire one of them though.

Welcome! RT @RealStevenAdams: Portland looks pretty nice! Got a Wellington vibe about it

Pinwheel Empire ‏@pinwheelempire 17m
Looks like @RealStevenAdams is in Portland today, probably working out for the team tomorrow. Very much in play at #10. #ripcity #blazers
 
Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO 5m
As for Derrick Williams, the T-Wolves believe he's the one (outside of Love and Rubio) who can get them a top-3 pick.


Really?

“I feel I'm the best big in the draft,” Plumlee told CSNNW.com. “I would say that's the biggest chip on my shoulder when people say he is what he is or he can't get any better, honestly that's a bunch of bull****.

“Earlier in college, my coaches told me that I could come out and they'll look at you as a project and you'll get drafted off of upside. I was like, 'Well, I want to do something before I go.' I thought I did that and now it's being held against me. I've always felt I was the best big. Just because I'm old, doesn't mean I can't get better.”

To hear Plumlee speak, you come to realize this kid is on a mission. He simply feels disrespected. There isn't any other way to put it.

Alex Len, a 7-1 center who is projected to go as high as No. 1 and not expected to fall pass No. 6, has seen his stock rise despite not being able to work out for a single team after recovering from surgery on a stress fracture in his left foot. “I played Alex Len five times,” Plumlee said. “If you look over the five games, I won four of the five match-ups. But there's that one, he made a name off of that. But it's okay, I'm just going to let time tell all.”

That's a bad comparison IMO.

Plumlee was 22 and 23 against a 18 and 19 year old Len.

Pittsburgh C Steven Adams & C Rudy Gobert will work out for #Blazers Thursday, I'm told. Will be a good one. Paul Allen appearance worthy.

That would be a fun one to watch.
 
Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes 8s
The #Blazers wanted this matchup in a workout to occur for some time: Steven Adams' bulk vs Rudy Gobert's length


Although I hope they dont put too much stock into it
