Worst case scenario at # 6

[Blazinaway]

Drummond is the epitome of swinging for the fences. I hope they go for it

It's like trading options in the stock market, big risk and big reward

taking another bust center "project" would be considered my worst case.
best case, is we get a freaking real point guard, and dispose of Crawford, Felton, Thabeet, and Flynn

Just an observation, but the players you are anxious to get rid of consisted of 2 PG's drafted in the lottery, who were both considered "real PG's"

I was going to comment on that.

PGs and Centers . . . draft has not been good to these positions . . . especially when it comes to Blazer drafts.

(Oden, Telfair, Bayless, Smith . . . sure I'm missing others)

Bayless simply does not belong on that list

There were such high hopes for Bayless. This board (or the other at the time) was buzzing about Bayless. There wa a big loud buzz for Bayless for a couple years and he showed some potential. But as a PG, with all his hype coming to camp, he was a bust in my mind.

His numbers now are what I dream of from a PG for the right offense. Bayless has never had the ever elusive "great court vision" but what he does have, that my friend, Randy Bodek likes, is the willingness to pass. He was caught as a young player trying to develop his game under Nate and Brandon's ISO piece of shit offense. Bayless was basically a year older than a college senior last year and put up good numbers. Is his game pure? No, but neither is the game of Westbrook. Comparing them from this past year, Bayless doesn't look that bad. People will scream and yell about smaple size and minutes played, but just looking at per 36 numbers

Worst case for me would be for the top five to get drafted as slotted and no one offers anything attractive for the 6. I would then select Lilliard. Drummond may turn out better and not completely sold on DL, but I would rather keep Hickson than have to wait on a very green AD to develop.

Hoping one of the top five fall, then we somehow get Kendall Marshall and Sullinger though.

Worst case is that it goes Davis/MKG/Beal/Robinson/Lillard, and we're stuck with Barnes or Drummond and no trade offers. I don't think either of those happen.

taking another bust center "project" would be considered my worst case.

Who was the last center "project" we took in the lottery? Oden wasn't a project. He was an NBA ready big man who could have contributed from day 1, if not for injuries.

Drummond isn't Oden. In fact, in most ways, he's the anti-Oden. He's much less NBA ready, but without the injury issues (so far, knock on wood).
