Forum Game Who will we pick?

[Rastapopoulos]

What's your guess?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I predict his first name will begin with "C"

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I'll say Carter Bryant.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

WHO VOTED "OTHER" WITHOUT SPECIFYING?

I think we trade the pick so no reason for me to guess.

 

[blazerkor]

If we use the pick I say Jakucionis. I do not think we will use the pick though.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

 

[Natebishop3]

It’s too hard to guess who will even be there at 11.

 

[LayneStaley]

I guess we trade the pick.

 

[Kell]

Still think it’s Demin

 

[Hoopguru]

If not traded....Coward or Bryant

 

[inconceivable]

I guess we trade the pick.

for what?

 

[BigGameDamian]

It’s been reported multiple times that the Blazers will try to win next year. Don’t be surprised if they make the unpopular decision.

 

[Chris Craig]

If not traded Bryant if he is still available, otherwise Demin

 

[LayneStaley]

for what?

Good question. My gut says Jrue is moved, Grant is moved, and 11 is moved. I think the return will be underwhelming.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I just heard Phoenix is targeting Queen or Wolf with the #10 pick. This should leave an opening for Bryant should we want him.

I think everyone will be singing Joe Cronin's praises with the moves he'll make this summer

 

[riverman]

Kasparas

I actually think I have the first 10 figured out. Essengue and Queen will go before 11. I kind of think Brooklyn is the only wildcard.

if the exit interview is any indication, Chauncey is ready to teach algebra, rookies are for arithmetic

 

[inconceivable]

If we make a selection, it's gunna be Dairy Queen, if he's still available

Bryant can play a role immediately.

Kasparas less so.

Demin much less so. He's much more of a project.

Bryant is the most sure thing out of the three. Not necessarily that he will be best.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Kind of not sure what direction the Blazers will go. On the one hand they seem to really have pivoted to a win now mindset. On the other hand with draft picks they've really wanted to grab players with the best upside.

All the role players added - outside Ayton - have been very good defenders. I could see the Blazers going with a nice role playing defender. Or maybe they figure the place to get those role players is with veterans and save all the upside gambles for another draft pick.

Really have zero idea of who we will take.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I said other because I think we will trade the pick

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Y'all are going to be so mad when we take Derik Queen

Doesn't fit the archetype of defensive versatility that Cronin has prioritized on the roster.

What happened to BPA?

 

[Blazinaway]

I think it's 50/50 at best whether we keep the pick

 

[SharpesTriumph]

What happened to BPA?

As evidenced by the Jrue trade I suspect the Blazers might be past going for BPA and instead trying to build the roster for best fit.

If the Blazers were in the top5 I suspect they would lean more to BPA. Down at pick #11 though, they might be thinking best fit.

I don't see them taking Queen unless its for someone else?
