Don't be too upset with #6 pick

Portland struck gold with that pick last year!

Since we pick 6th I son't want to be forced to take a guy like Len. Hope dipo falls.

6 is where everyone expected us to pick. Get over it. :) Look forward to workouts.

Why would we? Worst case we get "stuck" with Bennett and have to move Ryno.

Someone will take Bennett top 5 guys. Dipo/Burke/Porter will be there.

Trey Burke-a-thon live in effect. The only problem will be Magic @2. I think Cavs take Porter 1st overall. Magic go Noel Wiz go Bennett Cats go McElmore Suns go Oladipo.

I called the Wiz 3rd in over on Bourbon Street Shots. Lucky guess.

If we end up with Burke Bazz or Saric im not complaining. On the bright side less money is guaranteed...

I thought the Pelicans had the 5th spot before the lottery?

What's wrong with Len?

Everyone talks about the big 5 in this draft, but I disagree. I think there is a big 6.

Noel, McLemore, Porter, Burke, Oladipo, and Bennett. I'm satisfied.

Agree just see last year.

I would add Zeller as well. He's as good as any prospect.

Yea that is my boy too.

I think Burke could be the next Lillard

Trey Burke or get the hell out of that spot.

Trey Burke will go 2nd. Don't be surprise if B-Max slip to us.

Cleveland - Noel
Orlando - McLemore
Washington - Porter
Charlotte - Bennett
Phoenix - Oladipo
New Orleans - uh oh

I think either Burke or Olidipo will be there at 6. If Burke, I'd like to trade down with Detroit or the Jazz go for Caldwell-Pope. If Olidipo, take him. I guess I'm looking at depth behind Gordon.

Resign Aminu and sign Webster and shoot for a SF in next years draft

Rivers, Vasques
Gordon, Olidipo/Pope
Webster, Aminu
Davis, Ryno
Lopez, Smith

I'd still like to upgrade Vasques and Lopez some kind of way.

Burke and Porter will be gone.

Not as strong or explosive or good as scorer, but more of a natural PG. Both are equal shooters. Neither are good defenders.

cleveland - noel
orlando - burke
wizards - porter
charlotte - bennett/zeller
suns - oladipo/mclemore
pelicans - mclemore/oladipo
