[QUOTE="rtbritt, post: 1400224, member: 4615"] I'm curious as to why a guy like Anfernee Simons gets drafted 1st round to Blazers and Gary Trent Jr. goes 2nd round to Blazers. I have not actually watched games that either of these guys play, but both were very highly rated 5 stars, but Trent big-time produced at a major school, while Simons played 5th year HS ball. I read somewhere that Simons didn't participate in 5 on 5 drills for teams due to the fact that he'd be severely overmatched, physically. Obviously, teams didn't like Trent for whatever reason, and Simons was drafted 1st round, and generally NBA GMs do a good job of getting it right, and I get to sit in my recliner and comment on message boards. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
