Jerryd Bayless Gets Slighted Again...

Personally I wouldn't take Bayless's slight by the select team in any other way than to see the chip on his shoulder grow to enormous size. I mean he's already one pissed off man. Myself, I like the fire I see. And I do believe he will be humbled in camp, but at the same time he should grow into the role. I think he;s a clone of none other than Brandon Roy if he can learn to make the players around him better like Brandon has we have something here.

9 minutes of HELL the night of the draft...

It seems that nobody is happy and they ALL wanted Bayless. He He...

Here is a direct quote from Bayless's Brother

obscuris — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 18:29:47 -0000

I found this quote from Bayless's brother a Wall Street Stockbroker from an Arizon paper.

I'm glad to hear that Jerryd is happy to come to PDX. I believe he will help keep the miles down on Brandon and it looks like he can get to the hoop anytime he wants ala Tony Parker but a better shooter.

The trade that brought Bayless to Portland on Thursday, after the Indiana Pacers drafted Bayless in the No. 11 spot, proved a relief for Bayless' family. Bayless was projected to be taken in the 4-7 range for most of the spring. "I think most of us were shocked," Justin Bayless said. "When Indiana first picked him, I don't think anybody was too happy about it. But once we found out about the trade, everybody was cheering. We were all really excited at that point. They've got a great team and it's exciting to see what they will do."

Unreal Statistical Breakdown By Position For Draft "where does your guy rate"?

obscuris — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 22:24:41 -0000

Here is a great link to one of those kind of statistical analysis that KP might use to break down some of these later picks. This guy Hendrix looks like a nice pick he has been labled as a beast and for heavens sake we could use another beast. Of course you can see the breakdown of every top player at any position.
