I have a feeling we might be getting Cam Christie and I'm not sure how I feel about that. There are about ten players I'd be more interested in, but then again, I didn't get to see him work out.

I wouldn't be disappointed. Of course, I can say that for a lot of players. But his shot plays. His shot really plays. He can attack closeouts really well or reset and still shoot. His handle is good.

Poor man's Klay. I doubt he'll ever been close to Klay's level defensively, but his frame, length and shot certainly reminds you of Klay.

To people who wanted Knecht, I imagine Christie would be a great consolation prize.
 
Mogbo and McCuller would be awesome. Bona and Shead, too. All those guys are elite defensively and McCuller would be ready day 1. Klintman and Djurisic have potential as connective pieces. Edwards could be an option. I don't care for Filipowski or Smith, but they're fodder for picks 31-33.

Mogbo/McCuller are who I'm hoping for the most.
 
Klintman strengths: weaknesses seems to be he is viewed as "stiff" and for some reason questions about the sustainability of his shooting.
* Impressive perimeter shooting, hitting 35.4 percent from three-point range and 80 percent from the free-throw line, showcasing potential as a floor-spacer

* Adequate ball-handling skills and passing ability, capable of distributing the ball in transition and executing jumpers off the dribble

* Smooth dribbler with a tight handle, facilitating his distribution and offensive versatility

* Athleticism stands out, ranking near the top of his class, providing him with the ability to excel in various aspects of the game

* Solid off-ball cutter, utilizing his athleticism and size effectively to create scoring opportunities

* High defensive potential due to his combination of size, athleticism, and intangibles, allowing him to guard multiple positions effectively

Ooh, forgot about him. ONE of the following WILL be available at 34:
Filipowski
Furphy (my pick)
Kolek
Klintman.

Interesting. I know we worked out Filipowski - did we work out any of the others?

We did not work out any of the others.
 
I think the Blazers could take ANYONE since Cronin said it last night he wants players to push each other so all options on the table cept maybe another Center but even that under the right conditions might happen. In no order I will give my top 3 picks who I would like to see and I mentioned one last night in another thread.

1) Kolek -- good shooter and creator and this team could use some more shooting
2) Mogbo -- He is a freak - period
3) Djurisic -- Shows flashes but draft and stash him for a year or 2
 
Kolek's aggregate mock was 23. Great at offense but I'm thinking his weakness on defense might keep Portland from drafting.
* Leads men’s Division-I in assists per game with 7.7

* Recognized as a leader on the court

* Possesses craftiness and intelligence as a point guard

* Significant improvement as a shooter, hitting 40.4 percent from three-point range

* Adept distributor, particularly out of ball screens

* Displays clutch shot-making abilities

* Left-handed catch-and-shoot three-point shooter

* Deceptiveness and shiftiness enables him to attack the basket

* Solid floor general, orchestrating an offense effectively

* Creates scoring opportunities for teammates with flashy plays

I don't think these guys will be on the 15 man roster so I would go for upside. Christie is so young, would definitely consider him.
* Really good off the dribble shooter with very good percentages

* Good athlete

* Great foundation as a shot creator off screens and off the dribble

* Has some off the dribble rim pressure upside

* Flashed some nice defensive tendencies

* Great shooter

* Solid defense and driving

* Known for his great skill on the court, including scoring, passing, and defending

* Versatility to play multiple positions, giving coaches flexibility

* Youth and potential for development with room for improvement and growth

* Strong competitive mindset driving him to work hard and face challenges on the court
 
Isn't this going to be more exciting than yesterday? Once Atlanta passed on Clingan, it was pretty sure Portland would be getting him and then, that was it.

Furphy would be another young guy with upside. Hope to get him or Christie, For a bigger guy, Klintman or maybe Bona or Tyler Smith? Mogbo is a little older but he really looks good and why couldn't he continue to get better?

I want one of Bona, Klintman, Smith or Chomche with one of our picks. All seem like high upside swings.
 
Both Mogbo and Bona have problems shooting FT's. And Smith seems to have trouble making the correct decision quickly on defense.
 
Could Bona ever develop a Zion type game. Says he has good hands and
  • Shows a quick first step from the perimeter on occasional drives inside. There’s a chance he will develop a solid face-up game, especially if he’s able to develop a jumper.
  • Although he is already 21.

At this point, everyone that's still available still is available for a reason.

If Mogbo is Draymond Lite, would you mind the FT shooting issues? If Bona is the second coming of Montrezl Harrell, would you mind the FT shooting?

The three questions you have to ask yourself are:

1. Are they a positional or skill/trait fit for the Blazers? In other words, is there something they do or project to do that is different or better than all but maybe one other current player on the roster that the Blazers need in their plan for the future?
2. Does what they do well offset what they don't do well?
3. Are the things they don't do well correctable, improvable or able to be mitigated?

Looks like Mogbo is going first in the second Rnd.

Well, which guys do you think might fit and have some special skill that offsets their weakness and/or might be correctable?
 
I think Bona's upside is Harrell or maybe Ibaka without the outside shot.

I wish I could give you a good answer to that. I can't because I think it probably depends on what they have cooking with some of the vets they might be looking to move or what direction they're planning to take the team.

In other words, what they do today probably will tell us more about the Blazers over the next three years than the Blazers roster going into the second day of the draft tells us about who they're going to pick.

People write about the Spurs as if Pop's immortal and will just take all these young players and duplicate what they had with Duncan, Parker and Ginobili. First, they aren't Duncan, Parker and Ginobili individually or as a group. Second, the odds that Pop will be coaching them even when they are close to putting it all together is infinitesimal, and whoever succeeds Pop won't be Pop.
 
If I was to put money down on what the Blazers do in a few hours it would be this ...

We keep one pick and either trade out or down with the other -- I think the Blazers have a target (s) and if that player (s) are not there then they are getting out of that spot.

IF / When I am wrong and they take both picks then be prepared for trades even though we know they already were prolly going too IF they take both then odds for multiple trades go WAY WAY up.

I think that's likely. The other option being they draft one guy they like and then draft another they can stash overseas.
