ABOUT THE SOCIETY
Because the world really needed another blog dedicated to the Portland Trail Blazers. We're a group of journalists and fans who've grown up with--or have grown to love--Oregon's only professional franchise (and this won't change when MLS comes to town). Plus we're convinced that--if given the chance--we could totally hit the Toyota halfcourt shot. Until then, we're stuck here in the Portland Roundball Society.

Pick and Scroll, Draft-eve edition

Your daily (Mon-Fri) roundup of links from around the blogosphere, typically Trail Blazers related.

• Jerryd Bayless only puked in his car a little.

• Free Darko has a great piece on the humanity of draft picks, highlighted by DeMarcus Cousins dancing in the Sean John boutique.

• Wendell Maxey gives insight into how Portland evaluates draft prospects as people.

• Jonathan Abrams of The New York Times reports that The Knicks want Rudy Fernandez and are likely offering Wilson Chandler or Toney Douglas (hat tip to BlazersEdge). ESPN TrueHoop Network sister site Knickerblogger has the end of the year report cards on Wilson Chandler and Toney Douglas. Chandler looks like a nice player, but not a shooter. Douglas looks like a “D and 3’s” point guard who would make a good backup.

• Over at BlazersEdge, Dave Deckard grades potential trades.

• DraftExpress takes a look at international PG Alexey Shved. If Portland picks up another second round pick, Shved might be in the discussion.

• Now we’re draftin’ and podcastin’ with DraftExpress’ Jonathan Givony, ESPN Draft Gurus Chad Ford and Ryen Russillo, and Chad Ford and Bill Simmons.

• If you don’t have an ESPN INsider subscription, I’ll bet you wish you did this time of year. The next two articles are great reads over at the ESPN Draft Blog:

• Ryen Russillo takes a look at this year’s hidden gems.

• Need a shotblocker? An energy guy? Fran Fraschilla has got you covered.
