If we stay at #5 in the draft.. who you pickin'? And the #23 pick, if you like.




Hey all.

If the Blazers do not move up (oh man would Wemby be awesome) or down (could still find a gem, or trade the pick in some sort of deal), who do you have your eyes on? Whether it just be best player available, or specific need.

我的选择:

Brandon Miller would very much likely be gone, and would have been my top choice (apart from Wemby). It's still quite possible a trade up happens if we don't rise to 3 or so. But if not:

SF AMEN THOMPSON, 6'7 Overtime Elite

Slides right into a spot of need-- and some might think to start Sharpe here, but I think Ant could be moved due to his complete lack of defense and to move Sharpe to SG-- and Amen's elite athleticism already has shown flashes of potential to be a great defender (something the starting lineup is desperate for) and his offense and playmaking is already well on display.

23. PF/C NOAH CLOWNEY, Alabama, Defensive versatility is this guy's calling card. Will hopefully keep Eubanks as the 3rd center.

If Jerami Grant did not return I'd go with Jarace Walker at #5. Obviously the injury bug was cruel this last season, but a better defensive identity is still necessary and I think my picks in that aspect would help.

Who would you pick at #5? Or #23?
