BTW, just to give this a practical perspective......
Draft Express has the Blazers taking Brewer at #7 - with Yi Jianlian at #8 and Conley at #9.
NBAdraft.net has Portland taking Green at #7 - with Brewer #8, Hibbert #9, and Conley falling to #12.
I confess my ignorance about Jianlian.....I really don't know what to think of the guy, though some "experts" seem to believe he has a high ceiling. Brewer, Green, and Hibbert all strike me as valuable role-players - but not future stars.
IF Conley comes out, and IF his ceiling is as high as some of us believe - passing on him for some of these other guys seems like an excessive case of risk avoidance.
Just my grumpy
