Draft Picks (10th, 39th, 40th, 45th)




Hi everyone.

我是一个Blazer fan from Italy and sorry for my poor english.

I read a lot of things in these last weeks to move up with a trade or to trade 10th for 20th or similar position, for someone it's easier to pick a "Steal of The Draft" or a very good pick from 15th to 25th but Portland pickedNolan Smithwith 21st in 2011 :(

这是一个过去十10日选择列表:

2003Jarvis Hayes

2004Luke Jackson

2005Andrew Bynum

2006Mouhamed Sene

2007Spencer Hawes

2008Brook Lopez

2009Brandon Jennings

2010Paul George

2011Jimmer Fredette

2012Austin Rivers

What do we have here? An All-Star, maybe 2 (Paul George, Bynum), and two very good picks (Brook Lopez and Brandon Jennings) and even three busts ( Hayes, Jackson, Sene...who's Sene?!?).

Paul George has been a better choice than all the other picks from 2th to 9th.

So I think it's not impossible to have a good pick with number 10.

From several videos I watched in these past days there are better options than various Caldwell Pope, Plumlee, Carter-Williams and less risky than Gobert or Saric.

If Olshey chooses a C, in my opinion the BPA at 10th is Gorgui Dieng.

He's complete, great defender (good blocker) and offensively has a good range of shots. If Olshey chooses Dieng it sounds like "something went wrong with Meyers...". so I think this wouldn't be what GM will do.

In my opinion there are, at least, other two player who are predicted from 20th to 25th who could be a good "risk" at 10th.

2.Tony Mitchell( He had a great Freshman Season but in the last year his stats got worse ). Superb athlete, very good rebounder, after his freshman season was predicted as top 5 in the 2013 Draft.

3. Glen Rice J, too high for a 10th pick but better than others predicted before him.

For the three second rounders my favourite choices are (5 names for 3 places) :

1 - CJ Leslie, 2 - Livio Jean Charles, 3 - Reggie Bullock, 4- Jackie Carmichael, 5 - Erick Green as Lillard's backup or Andre Roberson as Batum/Aldridge backup

What do you think about Mitchell/Dieng? And what are your favourite 2nd rounders?
