Drew Fox, SF, High School. Title: With the 7th pick Post by: CavsGM on May 15, 2005, 06:10:53 PM This is earlier then I expected him to be taken. I was figuring early teens. If he can really sky rocket from his potential, it is a good pick then, I guess.
Title: With the 7th pick Post by: RaptorsGM on May 15, 2005, 06:14:58 PM Was this a CPU pick? I remember last draft the Blazers didn't ever make their own pick.
Don't really like this pick at all. Fix has the potential to be a decent shooter, nothing else. The best part is that he is only 18. Title: With the 7th pick Post by: NetsGM on May 15, 2005, 06:54:09 PM Not a CPU Pick.
I don't dislike the pick though. I was looking at trading into the 10-11 range to take him. Has the potential to be an amazing offensive player, and could potentially improve to a B or B+ defender. Title: With the 7th pick Post by: RaptorsGM on May 15, 2005, 07:17:50 PM I guess it's not terrible. But that defense is bad.
He should improve since he's only 18. Title: With the 7th pick Post by: NetsGM on May 15, 2005, 08:56:26 PM Well, Eddie Jones was just basically the playoff MVP with C+ defense.
There's always a spot for a bad defender who can take over the game, if he's surrounded by good defenders. with his potential (if true), he should develop into a solid defender.

Eddie jones is better than C+, B+, which is what makes Fox's A potential very interesting. Still a reach. Title: With the 7th pick Post by: BullsGM-old on May 15, 2005, 10:31:37 PM I don't understand how he was so big of a reach. He's 18, and could very easily end up with B, A-, and B defense
Title: With the 7th pick Post by: JazzGM-old on May 15, 2005, 11:10:10 PM I agree that it was a great pick up with some time for development, but still I thought he would go a little later (like 16th)
Title: With the 7th pick Post by: NetsGM on May 15, 2005, 11:29:30 PM I thought he would go somewhere between 10th and 14th or so.
But with how equal this draft is in terms of talent after the top pick, the picks are more interchangable.

He's 18, and could very easily end up with B, A-, and B defense He COULD do that. Be also, he COULD be C+, B+, C+ for the rest of his career. Too much stock is put on potential in this League. Raymond Bee could be a A- B- C A A COULDn't he? :P Title: With the 7th pick Post by: BullsGM-old on May 16, 2005, 07:47:57 AM Quote from: RaptorsGM Quote from: BullsGM I don't understand how he was so big of a reach.

Raymond Bee could be a A- B- C A A COULDn't he? :P Dude, you can say that for every player with A potential. Honestly what do the Blazers have to lose? They couldn't afford to make a safe pick IMO, if Fox develops, he'll be great. I think he will, he's only 18 Title: With the 7th pick Post by: ClippersGM-old on May 16, 2005, 09:05:16 AM Quote from: NetsGM Well, Eddie Jones was just basically the playoff MVP with C+ defense.

Indeed, what I did with Maggette! Title: With the 7th pick Post by: GoldenStateGM on May 16, 2005, 09:06:02 AM While I agree that Fox is a decent pick (although I think he went too high), I do not about the pick for the Blazers. The Blazers are already one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Fox just compounds the problem.
