Blazers in the draft

KP is awesome. That man has claimed a large chunk of confidence from myself and others. Each draft day is now expected to bring something unexpected by us fans and amazingly expected by KP. Apparently, he predicted the first 14-15 picks of the first round.
I hesitate to think of the amount of work and sleepless nights that he put into the draft. I can imagine him crashing for the next 72 hours just to recover!

I was hoping for more experience on the roster, but we managed to off-load a talented but goof-ball (on-the-court) player and a unused player who deserves a chance somewhere else, for an undervalued PF and a PG at a relative bargain at pick 11 (predicted to go 4) .
Plus Oden and Fernandez are now here!

I'm still hoping for a trade for some veteran bench leadership sometime near the trade deadline. But for now, looking forward to those Oden-Bynum/Duncan/Yao/Howard match-ups will be more than good enough! I can't believe I can't think of any other centers. Oden, if he lives up to the hype, will be controlling the paint for a while!
