Harsh to my favorite draft website, but you are perfectly right. At least they did say we would take BPA as KP stated and that we were looking at the 1 and 3. I am curious about their source stating that KP would look for something other than a point guard in the draft? They state in this article KP thinks Roy is the long term point?

I’d love to see his resume…

But it reads as if the author just looked at the roster and maybe a few articles, and then wrote the review based off of that.

Von Wafer? Darius Miles? Frye offers defense and inadequate offense? I’d argue, like you, that the one thing Frye does more than adequate is shoot jumpers. The rest is iffy. LaMarcus gets glossed over completely.

I’m glad you wrote the author, as this is just not good analysis and goes beyond just superficial—it is plain incorrect in many respects.

At least it wasn’t negative. That shows that even people who really don’t know anything about the team will look at our roster and record and know we are a team on the rise with a good reputation. Besides actually winning more in the regular season and playoffs, this is the best we can hope for in turning around the Blazers’ reputation with casual fans or non-Blazer followers. You don’t gotta pay attention to know we got something good going on.

Mortimer

They haven’t even talked to anyone. I’m sure Joel liked his review…Backing up Oden is Joel Przybilla, a big body that provides defense off the bench….then they go on to talk about RL for th rest of the paragraph

“Backing up Roy is Von Wafer, the once highly touted McDonald’s All American who never fulfilled expectations, and James Jones. Jones, more of a small forward than a guard, is tall and can stroke from just about anywhere”

Since when did Von back Roy up?

and James is more of a small forward… BECAUSE HE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does everyone REALLY want Sergio to be the starting PG? Um… i dunno and i love how he just says they have this cool guy named Rudy coming and then talks about Freeland for a whole dang paragraph..sheesh… and apparantly Lamarcus only came into his own b/c of Oden’s injury, not because they GOT RID OF THE PREVIOUS POWER FORWARD STARTER… and duh, Miles is an afterthought only because of his bad attitude and selfish play? Really..? it isnt b/c of his knee surgery and tendinitis and LEAGUE DEEMED CAREER ENDING INJURY TO KNEE!!!!!!!!!!!!?????

Yep this was bad… comical irritating agree with Morty.. can I call you Morty?.. that at least the overall feel was positive..stating we shouldn’t have been in the lottery..etc…

It’s been by far the worst Draft site the last couple years.. And it’s sad cause they were my fave for so long.

that called JJ a “defensive specialist”

I cracked up.

Take’m to task.

the article appears to be pretty close to right on from what I can tell.

Only problem is, it still says that Frye is better at D than O.
