I still don't get why they're touting Drummond's 7'6" wingspan as something great....Losing a lot of respect for Jay Bilas as he minimizes that 29% FT number.

Is it bad I was kind of hoping Meyers wouldn't be drafted by the Hornets so he wouldn't play with IDKWTI? Btw, if you google IDKWTI, Gordon's picture and profile come up.

Boy, Bilas's analysis of Meyers was very muted. By contrast, he talked about Drummond as if he were the next Hakeem the Dream. Very odd.

Don't worry about it, but a rule of thumb about the NBA: GMs love to draft bigs above all else.

I'm surprised he didn't go a few picks higher, but this is a good situation for Meyers. The key will be the play of their new pg.

I hope ML will change Portland's luck with big men. Good Luck Meyers, maybe Bill Walton will school him.
