The Portland Trailblazers select: Imam Shumpert.
Not BPA just a personal favorite. At least the rook is tied with Tony Allen for third best defensive rating among guards and is the only player in the top 10 still on the board.
Also for the record, I liked the Rush pick, but if you make me choose, I'm team Courtney Lee.
Nice pick. I really like the way your team is coming together, but I think you need an actual point guard at some point. Right now you have nobody to run your offense, and Lou and Shump are more scorers than distributors.
Thanks, yeah, I'm aware I haven't addressed it, and figured it would come up sooner or later. For better or worse, I'm committed to Lou who's averaging 5.3 assist per 36 while playing the best defense of his career, and who's ability to hit shots should reinvigorate the TrailBlazers offense.
While Raymond Felton is a much better playmaker, he's otherwise a borderline starter, having a career worst year. I don't miss him at all.
Here's what Portland beat writer, Jason Quick had to say about him, following last night's 0-7, 2 assist, 5 TO loss that was the Blazers' game to win.
If Blazers have a decent - just DECENT - point guard, they have 20-22 wins right now. Instead they have the worst starting PG and are 16-15.
