Portland [scout] looking at Gil Goodrich (Who?)

Gil Goodrich is a 5-10, 170 pound Senior Guard.
I don't want to be irrationally speculative, but I will (for the moment): what is Portland doing sending scouts out to look at point guards? |

Why wouldn't they? A scouts job is to collect info on all prospects so that the big-wigs can make an informed decision. Cutting out 1/5th of the prospects up front just means a higher chance on missing out on the next Gilbert Arenas or Michael Redd.
I think you are reading too much into this.

Hey, I told you I was being irrationally speculative!
Besides, it's a slow news day and it's the second straight off-night.

Especially this guy. Near as I can tell, even though he's still in college he'll be 25 before next season starts (maybe they're looking for an older player to help mentor the young kids). Never mind that he's an undersized gunner, a quick google search shows Bowie State (his current college) as the fifth college he's attended (although I'm not sure how many he's actually played for). Here's a quick laundry list:
Panola Junior College
Howard University
Indiana University - South Bend
Lamar University
Bowie State University
If he was any good, don't you think he'd manage to stick around at one of these small time programs for more than a season?

Re: Portland [scout] looking at Gil Goodrich (Who?)
Keep in mind that Portland has a plethora of second ronf picks.....At least until they use them in a trade or two this year

Re: Portland [scout] looking at Gil Goodrich (Who?)
I get the feeling that picking a 5'10" DIV II player might be a stepbackwards for our recent draft sucess.

No but after years of a 5'10" shoot first "PG", he'd feel right at home here in Portland. And, I have the perfect nickname for him:

Re: Portland [scout] looking at Gil Goodrich (Who?)
They're probably just calibrating their fancy computer program...
If this guy comes out #1 on the draft board, they need a few more lines of code.

Re: Portland [scout] looking at Gil Goodrich (Who?)
I think his coach is just trying to get him some pub. This reminds me of college football recruiting and players that are low rated having Florida, USC and Texas in their top 5 because they got a letter from them even though they will never get a scholarship offer

Yeah, that happens all the time. My younger brother is a sophomore and plays baseball and he got a letter from LSU and Saint Mary's. He's all excited and thinks that he's going to go there. When in actuality, they always send feelers to kids, they might not have a clue who he is but someone else has and they put him on the their letter list.
In Goodrich's case, it sounds like it was his coach definitely trying to get him some pub.
