Tyson could be really good. Elite handles at 6'7," crafty around the basket, good outside shot. He passes the eye test for sure.
Even the 2000 draft--clearly the worst of the bunch--had a few players who made all-star games, as well as a few others who had solid if unspectacular careers. Nobody in here is expecting the Blazers to draft a HOF player next month, but it's not unreasonable to believe we can get a couple players good enough to start on a contender, and possibly even make an all star game. If Jamaal-freaking-Magloire could do it, someone available at 7 or later in this year's draft can do.
Hmm, that’d be interesting. That would indicate to me that the FO believes Reath is a real backup C. I do prefer Missi because I think having him on the floor is when I think I’d be the most comfortable with DA at PF. But if Bona could ever become a Claxton type of player one day and just live off defense and energy plays for a year or two, I would be fine with him here as well.
I think we are getting to a point where we have a lot of good, not great, forwards.
I'm higher on Buzelis than I was during our discussions earlier this year. He has an edge to him I didn't notice. Detroit really likes him, so I'm not sure he falls to us. Castle is maneuvering his way to San Antonio or Washington...maybe that works and we pass on him (I would still take him. Who cares).
So every draft in the past 27 years has been loaded, ok
Yeah, I don't like the Buzelis pick for them. Knecht and Risacher make more sense for them.
Same could be said about every other post up these days... are you looking to play a very selective game of gotcha? Maybe there is a good reason that we haven't heard the sorts of glass half full comments about the talent in this year's draft class in some time... whatever could that reason be?
No Gotcha at all.
Oh that’s right….. that’s what I said right? All I said was THIS draft is shit and shouldn’t be over hyped. That’s all. There’s a reason EVERY respected mock is completely different. No player talented enough to stand out….not even at #1! The way Scoot took heat this season, these rookies won’t have to worry about that….they won’t play.
Hmm...the guy listed all stars from each and every one of the past 27 drafts, and you replied "these drafts were loaded". So...yeah, that's exactly what you said.
What? So know we have to mean what we say?
Now it seems there is a record of it and people will actually repost what you said and make you see your own buffoonery?
No gotcha, then whats going to come back to bite him? I doubt he'll spend a down moment on his own if this draft turns out to be a bonanza.
From everything I see yes this draft is poor at best. I’m interested in what they will do. Next years draft seems better. I’m also interested in what happens then.
And I think you used it in the right context. Bonus point for spelling it correctly...as far as I know.
My phone helped me Is my first thought.
Yeah, Christie was the only name on that list that stood out to me.
