    Via Chris Hayes-
    The Trail Blazers were one of "many teams" who were disappointed with Connecticut SG Jeremy Lamb's pre-draft workouts.

    Lamb acknowledged that teams want to see his "motor" and whether he can stand up to NBA contact, and he didn't help himself by failing to shoot well during drills. Another strike against him for Portland came during a media interview -- when asked whether he knew "anything about" the Blazers, he struggled to name LaMarcus Aldridge, then said he knew of "the light-skinned dude," who turned out to be Nicolas Batum.

    Shooters and scorers are not to be confused as being the same thing.

    i liked lamb's abilities. then i saw his interview. the guy is a dope.  after that interview i wouldn't take him in the 2nd round.  seems really immature and not very bright at all.  i would stay away from lamb.  you can tell he'll be a bust just from his interview at the combine.

    If you don't have brains off the court you won't have them on the court. I think you can get alot out of an interview. That's why I like Barnes so much, you can see the intelligence from just his interviews.

    He is an idiot. If the new GM allows him to be picked in the first round he will piss of most every Blazer fan.

    This draft is loaded with Forwards and Centers. Quality guards are at a premium. Even if Lamb flounders a bit during some pre-draft workouts, he'll find a home before #20 easy.
