Players that intrigue me
Well, I back from my suggested temporary ban.
With pick #13 and all the 2nd round draft picks, I'd like to know what players people would be interested in (Outside the regular, Westbrook, Love etc.). I'm trying to get info on players that fit the culture, fit a need, have one absolute special talent or seem like a Nate or Pritchard guy.
I know that Portland likely does not keep all the picks, but I'm looking at players in general.
I have three in mind right now. Please add players and why you like them.
#13 Batum. I think that if Outlaw, Web or Jones is not with the team next year, there will be a hole to be filled here. (I'm guessing SF moved for PG help.) Just like Rudy last year, this is a player that might be pushed to stay in Europe for one more year.
Batum has been compared to Rudy Gay, with the potential to play tough, tough D. He is young and makes mistakes, but the talent is there. Seems like a team first guy. Is very skinny.

2nd round: Alexis Ajinca 7’1 C
I had a post about him a while ago. I’m sure will be in Europe next year. Good shot blocker.
2nd round: Shan Foster 6’6 SG/SF Vandy I listen to a interview with his coach. I’m sold on this guy. Total team player. Hardest worker on the team. Guarded the best player on the other team every game. But the best thing of all. .469 on 3’s for the year. An absolute great outside shooter.

his NBA comparisons are two guys I've never heard of but he is rated a 95?
If it fills a need, if it fills a rebuilding situation. And my goal is to fill and rebuild and I am not going to be shortsighted.

He had a lot of dunks like this. Pretty fly for a white guy.

I like Batum
only if we trade Outlaw in a package for a PG.
A Batum/Webster rotation at SF looks good to me.
