The Blazers are one of a handful of lottery teams that (on paper) actually have talent at almost every position. That said, Darius Miles is as good as gone this summer, leaving a hole at small forward that can be filled by Morrison. Maybe he won't be the next Larry Bird that everyone wants him to be, but Morrison is clearly the best player in this draft and should put up 15-18 points a game right away.

He's not clearly the best player in the draft, though.

Yeah, I'd mock that draft (pick).

He is, though.

I like this pick, but in reality i'll probaby like Bargani too. I'd just like one more than the other.

mock drafts are a waste tho, they're just people saying the same thing with no real "significant" basis in them.

oh wait, I meant us fans.

anyone notice how Bargani, in this mock, went 7th? I think that shows the folly of mocks. To some of us here, he's the "sure thing #1!" pick, and to others, he's barely a top 5 pick. But than again, neither was Webster last year.

as a gonzaga fan and member of family tied to GU for generations...

i am emotionally invested in Adam as well BUT not close minded like Zagsfan....i think with that said, we are gonna be lookin big in case Joel bolts anyways

so,

Aldridge...Thomas...Bargnani

if it was up to me, i would choose Andrea

None of them think he's "clearly" the best player in the draft. There is no clear top player in this draft.

We'll find out come draft day if he's viewed as the best player by the team with the #1 pick. I'm guessing he won't be, but I've been wrong before.

**Minstrel** · 05-06-2006, 05:23 PM

I'm not saying it's impossible that Morrison could be selected first (though I don't expect it)...but I don't think any scouts/GMs consider him clearly the best player in the draft.

last year showed (at least in the eyes of many fans) that the best player is not always taken #1.

Please read my previous post again...

I said, who the team with the #1 views as the best player. I never said who was, is, or will be the best player.

Man, people sure are defensive when it comes to Morrison.
