I still want CJ. Either him or best big and Green in the second. I want another high scoring ball handler off the bench, who would keep defenses from doubling Lillard. I think that would put Lillards scoring into the 22-24 ppg area, as well as letting him run the pick and roll easier, bumping up his assists.

why not both and see who develops best? can't have enuf bigs


Agreed. Besides, Leonard has enough of a perimeter game once he gets some confidence to be able to play outside a little more opposite a guy like Adams/Gobert who is strictly a close to the basket player.

Yea but like people said, we appear to be targeting wings if we keep the pick, making the FO seem to think Meyers + a current project is to redundant.

Called it a month ago, he's killing it during the workouts. Stock rising fast. Top 10 pick by June.

after seeing Meyers this season it's HOW one uses their vert in a game situation, Meyers vert on defense was worthless with his awful positioning and timing

Yea take these numbers with a grain of salt, if it really is that effective. Last year we were worrying about Lillard's bad 3/4 sprint.

Zeller appears the "athlete" of the top C's, agility/jump/speed

Gobert barely needs to jump to dunk though. He tends to not leave the ground on defense which is a good thing. I'm not worried about his vert at all.
