Bill Simmons of pop culture, entertainment and sports website Grantland.com -- also known as "The Sports Guy" -- conducts a back-and-forth 2012 NBA Mock Draft with ESPN.com's Chad Ford. For the Portland Trail Blazers, the pair select Weber State guard Damian Lillard at No. 6 and Washington forward Terrence Ross at No. 11. Simmons also throws in a name-check for Blazersedge readers. --------------------------------- 'With the 11th pick, I'm grabbing Terrence Ross for Portland and, more important, for the nitpicking lunatics on the Blazers Edge message board. In a league that's moving in the direction of athletic swing guys who can shoot 3s and play multiple positions, it seems logical to spend a lottery pick on an athletic swing guy who can shoot 3s and play multiple positions, right?" --------------------------------- ed: text edited, bumped to front page
