As the draft kept progressing, teams continually kept passing on the pure hustle, yet not very skilled player from Duke. When the draft entered the second round and McRoberts still had not landed on an NBA roster I began to ask myself, "Will this guy even get drafted?" Then we got to pick number 37 and the Portland Trail Blazers once again shocked the world and took McRoberts. I found this more shocking than anything else
There is only one logical explanation as to how
When Mike originally said he would bet any amount of money that Philly would take McRoberts, I thought going into the Draft that was a sure thing. Now I am kicking myself for not taking that bet, and Kevin Pritchard should be kicking himself somewhat for wasting a pick.

Josh McRobert's is the perfect type of hard working player that the Blazers have been adding to their roster over the last few seasons. He is not a big time scorer like Zach was, but that is what we have Aldridge for... McRobert's will more than likely spend significant time in the developmental league for the next couple of seasons. Plus he will hardly cost anything to try and develop. He was a steal at #37, and even if we don't use him in the next two seasons or so, we can always throw him in on a trade in the future.
