Two picks in the lower first round, I love it. We need a point guard and we need a center. There are a couple of good centers in this draft, and some not-so-amazing point guards. My take is that we draft the best point guard available to us at 6 and the best remaining center at 11. We then let Mr. new PG duke it out with Nolan Smith for the first half of the season. I don't think Smith is the answer at the point, but we haven't really given him a shot either. We already have one of the best PF/C in the league with Aldridge. Just get him some support!
My Blazers mock draft:
Pick #6 is a)Damian Lillard first or if he is gone b)Kendall Marshall
Pick #11 is any of the following with this best health history: Andre Drummond/Tyler Zeller/Meyers Leonard
You pull the trigger on these draft picks unless you can get an elite PG or Center without giving up Aldridge or Batum. OK maybe even Batum depending on the trade details.
