We need a point guard. He has to play meaningful minutes right away. We plan to be deep into the playoffs this year, so he has to be the kind of guy who won't be phased by that atmosphere. We need him to play great defense and make the other team's point guard work hard. He has to be able to run our offense and fit seamlessly with our many different lineups.
We also have a lot of young star players, so he can't have a big ego and he has to be used to playing with bigger stars and making them better. And he has to be a good enough shooter to draw a committed defensive assignment.
Oh, yeah. We'd also like it if he could shoot about 90% from the line.
Sound like we are asking too much from the 24th pick? Sound like we should have moved up? Well, it turns out we didn't have to.
The Portland Trail Blazers select Darren Collison - our made to order PG delivered hot and fresh to us right here at the bottom of the first round.
