Jameer won't "slip" to POR at #13, he will be avialable and POR (as they WISELY should do) will pass on him. GM Nash is already on the record about Jameer, calling him a good role playerbackup...not exactly a ringing endorsement, but right on the money IMO. There will be FAR better players at #13 (if POR even stays there) than Jameer Nelson.
Luke is another story and a dilemma, I think POR does like him, on several levels, as a player, as a good PR tool...however I do not think he will be there when POR selects at #23, I think he will go mid to late teens. Which puts POR in a bind, reach for him at #13 over better players? or in all likelyhood miss him at #23. I could see POR ttrading up from #23 to get him, if the REALLY liked him. Can't see them selecting him at #13 though, but if he keeps climbing the charts, who knows?
BTW, in case you hadn't heard Jackson shredded Iguodola in a 1 on 1 matchup recently. He is moving up the charts.
Dachen - Outlaw cannot play center, right now he is a SF, he is just too skinny, he still needs to bulk up more. He MAY end up as a PF, but more than likely he will be an NBA SF even after he fills ut a little more.
Lastly, Blake Stepp...this guy is not an NBA player. I hope POR passes on this kid, it would be a waste of a 2nd round pick IMO. He just isn't NBA material. Look at Dickau, he is barely an NBA player ( and may not be for long after his initial rookie deal expires), and Dickau was a FAR better player than Stepp is. There will be better prospects to take with our 2nd round pick than Stepp. Let another team make that mistake.
