Really hoping Kidd-Gilchrist falls. His stock is slipping, as teams seem to be looking to fill needs over talent. It's ;likely Sacramento would take him if he falls, but one can hope.

I'm not big on Lillard. I'm not an advocate of drafting kids from small schools that did well in lesser conferences. There isn't enough track record against top notch competition to tell just how good he really is.

I would love this. Right now, I acutally have Barnes falling to us at 6. I wonder if Drummond is gone at that point and it's down to Lillard or Barnes for us, who would we take?

My mock draft

1 - Davis
2 - Beal
3 - Barnes
4 - T-Rob
5 - Drummond
6 - MKG
7 - waiters
8 - Lillard
9 - Henson
10- Rivers
11 - Ross

I think there will be several trades. I think charlotte moves down, cleveland moves up, sacramento moves out/back and blazers attempt to move up from 11 to 8 for Lillard

Houston is trying to trade up and get Sacramento's pick. That would be good for Porltand since it's likely they would take a big man or possibly trade it to Orlando, who would also probably take a big.

I'm not sure Portland will move up since they just don't seem to have many valuable parts that would want to make a team trade down.

I agree, plus after reading around a bit, I think Blazers really want Lillard.

Big question now is what they will do with the #11 pick. Most mock drafts I've seen show either Zeller or Leonard being selected, both of who I think are fine enough post players to start contributing within their first 2 seasons.

I really like Moultrie and Leonard. Would be pleased with either. I'm not too excited about Zeller though tbh.

Latest rumors have Houston moving up to 5 and taking Drummond. Might leave MKG for Blazers. I'd feel like we got a steal with that. :D He's still so young and already so good.

I still think MKG ends up in the top 4 since I don't think he gets past Cleveland.

Looks like things have shaped up for Portland to take Lillard.
