I have had Sarr and Risacher as my top two for months, but I may finally have Risacher over Sarr just because I trust his two-way ability more. I really don't think Sarr offense will be enough to be a huge positive but I think Risacher has legit Mikal Bridges like upside. Really high IQ big wing that competes hard on defense and takes smart shots on 3s. I don't think he as limited offensively as folks are making it and he has sneaky athleticism. I think we need someone with legit pro experience too given our other young guys didn't even have college experience. Really hoping we land ZR

Risacher slots in for the skill set and also may be the best player available. Agreed. Sarr may have a higher overall ceiling but to me it's far more likely Risacher reaches his, and I think Bridges is a great comp for Risacher. He's playing in a tough league and has played lots of games. If the Blazers move into the top 2 they will be in a good spot either way IMO.

Salaun should absolutely be the pick at 14 if he is there. Ultimate swing for the fences pick at a position of need

Any player drafted this year will take 3 seasons to “be that star.” Why not groom Shaedon in that role? I predict he’ll have everyone raving in 2025.
@FromTheLogo2 ай бұрын
Yeah If Shaedon stays healthy he could be a force. Just have to implement a system where he can succeed and make sure he's starting from day 1. I think they have to clear the runway for him.

@@FromTheLogo The firing of the assistants indicates that the GM’s statement about “not being good next season” has over-ridden CB’s statement of “being good for the playoffs.” He knows he won’t get an extension now and may be looking for a HC job that doesn’t involve tanking and offers salary security.

I can’t put topic over buzellis. Holland is intriguing but if he’s really 6’6 and is a horrendous shooter I pause. If he falls to 14 no brainer

I don't agree that you don't need another center, mainly for better defense against other bigs like Joki, KAT, Holmgren and Wemby. Williams and Reath can't do it.

ayton/williams/reath/bari is better center depth than 90% of the league
@FromTheLogo2 ай бұрын
True, the league is tilting towards size, even though KAT and Wemby aren't playing center on their teams. I'm not sure if the twin towers of Ayton and Clingan fit well enough. But Sarr and Ayton could work and be closer to the mold you are talking about if Sarr improves on his shooting.

Not a bad move. Clingan's health is a bit concerning. I do think as Ayton continues to settle in and the team adds shooting he will show he can fit the timeline and play well, but we will see. I'm not fully attached to him yet.

Yeah part of this may come down to ownership as well. The Blazers do need to draft their stars so I get rebuilding but want to see some "pop" from 1 or 2 young guys next season.
