This has to be one of the great whiffs in NBA history. Can our time travelling scouts give the Trailblazers some advice about who to take with the first pick?

Since these can be pretty obvious, go ahead and rank your top 3.

I can proudly say I never saw Thaddeus play a single minute of basketball

Wow, Conley over Horford or Gasol? I would like to know the reasoning behind this pick.

Longevity. Plus back in 2015 I sat court side and watched Kevin Durant and Curry take on Conley when he was on the Grizzlies and I was very impressed with Conley in a loss. He was so smooth with the ball it was crazy to watch. Since that game I developed a new respect level for Conley

He is a great player. Still effective today with the TWolves.

I think Conley belongs right in the mix with Gasol and Horford. He anchored a perennial contender and is one of the highest character guys in NBA history.

Gasol was great, but I think Horford has an edge over him.

Clearly Durant.

Horford
Gasol

It is clearly Durant but I still want to try out an anti-Durant argument because Horford is my favorite role player ever.
