Why do people keep chasing PF vets? So many names thrown around for our 7th pick. We have a starting PF right now and his name is Trendon Watford. Hear me out. Not many people watched the tank-a-thon this winter. I did, paid the extra money to get Roots Sports. I saw this rookie develop and in his final games this March before the Blazers decided to go full tank, played really well for a rookie. How well? Let's do a comparison with Scottie Barnes, the 4th player taken in the draft and who was a starter for the Raptors. The comparison is not apples to apples because Barnes played in 74 games and average about 35min/game. So I am only showing 13 games Trendon played in the month of March, where he averaged about 30min a game. Per game averages are shown.

Tale of the tape

Player_____Pts____ Reb___ Ass____ FG%____FT%____3pt%____TO____Ht____ wt

Barnes____ 15.3____7.5____3.5_____49_____ 73.5____ 30______1.8____6'7"____225

Watford____ 15.4 ___6.7____ 3.4_____50_____ 78.4____ 29.6_____1.5____6'8"____237

This kid is also a good defender, just needs to work on his 3pt shooting. It would be sad to see him play behind an overpaid vet. His development is on a much quicker pace than Anfernee, who took a full three years to see him bust out. Use our picks to get more rookies, make a trade here and there, and in a couple of years we should be golden.
