    Yup. 3 firsts and we come out with the worse Collins as our best player

    Not what you want in a loaded draft

    Yep, Olshey burked that draft.

    Picture a core of

    Dame/CJ/Bam

    Or

    Dame/Mitchell/Nurk

    Or

    Dame/CJ/OG/Allen

    Yes sir. Was incredibly pissed in the moment… Still bummed that Olshey was our gm after the joke of 2016

    I made a long winded post on Blazers Edge that spring about how Mitchell was my preferred target so that we could move off of CJ while his value was high…

    So dumb. This can be said to about every team that doesn’t draft said-player who becomes a superstar. Why not go back to 2013 when Portland drafted CJ instead of Giannis?

    Or 1984 when Portland drafted Sam instead of Michael?

    It’s purely chance and risk. Nobody can predict the future.
