Portland snags number one pick, are you joking?
The Celtics attempt at getting the number 1 pick by throwing games back fired. I’m quite happy actually I’ve never been a big fan of throwing games just to obtain a pick. The Portland Trail Blazers on the other hand some how defied the odds in the lottery and picked up the number one pick. This team already has a great young nucleolus that will only be strengthened with this pick. LaMarcus Aldridge, Jarrett Jack, Brandon Roy, Zach Randolph, and now and quite possible Greg Oden, or Kevin Durant this team will become a playoff contender sooner then later with the addition of either player.
Boston fans shouldn’t be worried yet, Greg Oden is most definitely out of the question. However there will still be some big men out there that can help this team although maybe not right away players like Yi Jianlian from China. Although he will be a bit of a project (what more could Boston really use right now) he lacks the upper body strength and doesn’t have the best moves in the post. He has nice stroke and can’t hit from 20 feet out comfortably.
