Does any of our big four not get drafted tonight in Bell, Boucher, Brooks and Dorsey?

I'd actually be a little surprised if Boucher gets picked. But I'm convinced he will work his way up and make it to an NBA roster eventually.

Cool, we found a twin for Meyers on the end of the bench with a bunch of DNP-Coach's Decision. That sweep in the first round was so worth not being in the lottery.

collins is no sure thing (limited minutes in a poor conference) but if he pans out he fits in incredibly well with the current makeup of this team. he can play outside the paint if paired with nurk and he's a super efficient post scorer when he slides inside.

what i love is his defensive efficiency. he and nurk can clean up A LOT of what our mickey mouse backcourt can't stop.

no sure thing but if we were realistically going to trade up to (7-12) he's the pick I wanted. he fits.

being tall white guys are about the only comparison you can make between meyers and collins.

Initial grade by Si.com:

10. Portland Trail Blazers: Zach Collins, Gonzaga

It made little sense for the cap-starved Blazers to use all three of their first-round selections. Portland will reportedly send Nos. 15 and 20 to Sacramento for this pick, and directly address a need with Collins, perhaps the top defensive big man in this class. There’s plenty of reason to be high on him, despite his limited playing time as a freshman, and teams believe he can become a strong jump shooter and rim protector at the next level. The Blazers will hope he’s the solution in the middle to compliment Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum sooner rather than later. It’s a shrewd move by GM Neil Olshey. Grade: A

We shall see...
