Top 3 options are:
Anthony Edwards - Georiga
LaMello Ball
James Wiseman - Memphis

Or do the Wolves make a trade.

Most outlets have the Wolves taking Ball or Edwards. Siakim and Aaron Gordon have been mentioned as players the Wolves would like to trade for.
Wolves also have the 17 and 31st pics tonight.

Who's on your teams radar.

Maybe Edwards could play for the Wolves and Vikings ...

Robert Covington.

Seriously, though, I've sat through the years since the Blazers drafted Lillard and then McCollum, and then try to get the pieces around them through the draft that will somehow transform the Blazers into an instant contender. You hope your team picks the right player and you hope that player grows into a superstar, but all that takes time (if it ever happens). I was glad to see the Blazers pick in this year's draft go over to Houston and we can get a proven player on the roster to at least keep us in the conversation. Lillard is the best player for the Blazers since Drexler and we need to at least try to be a contender, and that wasn't going to happen by making pick after pick in the draft.

I recall Greg Oden's interview before the draft that he said he had always wanted to become a dentist and always aspired to be a dentist growing up (then he got too big, he said).

Whatever you end up doing, you have to love it 100% in order to be the best at it.

I think the super stars from this draft might be after the top 3. Kid from France is suppose to be a great player too.

Most of the kids will be some sort of role players with one or two really good years in the league. And some will wash away. Sadly, past drafts are littered with "can't-miss" players who, for one reason or another, missed, either through their own fault or the faults of others.

This draft will be especially interesting in that the whole process was rushed. Almost like throwing darts.

Got rid of Josh Richardson who didn't really seem to fit and didn't seem to be anything particularly well. Picked up two experienced and good shooters in Green and Curry, and even picked up a young project in Ferguson in the OKC trade to go along with the trio of college kids they picked in the draft (Maxey from UK - good scorer, Reed from DePaul - a big kid, and Joe from Arkansas - potential shooter). And they only really lost one #1 pick in 2025 through all of this. Never know what the drafted kids will end up being, but changing out Horford and Richardson for Danny Green and Seth Curry (along with something like $13M in cap space) is a pretty good night.

Curry is a good pickup for you guys. Very underrated player. People need to stop referring him only as "Steph's brother". He is a dangerous 3-point shooter in his own right.
