Allen with a jumpshot and offensive upside? I'd Lonely Island if we hit that.

I think his offensive upside is what most of us question. He only averaged 13 points as a junior. And although his 3PT% went way up, he didn't do it on that many attempts and his form still seems a little funky to me.

He's generally not known to be a good shooter. I don't care to expand on that so take it for what you will.
 
Kelly Olynyk shot 63% from the field this year and that is including almost one three-pointer a game. He did also average a little over 1 block per game too. I wouldn't mind Olynyk at 21 honestly, but 14 is too high to me.
 
Here is an interview with Chad ford on a Portland Radio station.

Ford talks about Potland selling (trading its pick)

Well when you have 25 teams selling, it's tough, and that seems to be the consensus on virtually every team, including the team at the top, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And so you're seeing literally from every team in the top 10 talk about trading this pick. If people were coveting draft picks and you were one of the few teams willing to give it up, you could get a lot for that. But right now this is a buyers market all the way because so many teams are trying to sell.

....he (Blazers GM Olshey) has the resources to make moves if he wants to make moves. I think the challenge this year -- as we just talked about at the beginning -- is it's crowded. It's crowded. There's a lot of teams wanting to make moves, a lot of teams wanting to trade. That typically means you don't get high returns.​

Buyers market for the Jazz!!!! Got no assets but cap space and maybe one of the core 4 on a big move, but still its a buyers market.

All you bishes hear that? I talked about this draft being a weak one a few years back and took so much ****.
So, take notes;
2014 - STRONG
2015 - average to slightly weak.. pretty average
2016 - Average
2017 - STRONG

I can also give early glimpses into which positions are deepest in each class. Of course things are always subject to change, and do .. but the general feel is usually calculable.

Ok. We get it, you're a psychic. You must be good with palms.

What's your sign?
 
My concern is the jazz grab 2-4 players in this draft, including a pg who plays just good enough for the jazz to miss out or pass over a better player next year.
