I am hoping to see some exciting fast breaks with him, Scoot, and Sharpe. I also think he will work well leading the break with Simons and Shae on the wings. He is the type of player who fits well with everyone.
Once this team grows a bit the passing will be interesting. Scoot is obviously decent. Sharpe can run the point at times and has decent vision. Demi clearly is capable, and Cling-Kon showed some nice vision last year. I was also glad to hear several players say how smart they thought Clingon was. It would be fun to watch another selfless team that works the ball for the obviously good shot.
“First of all, I’m very excited,” said Avdija at the Trail Blazers’ practice facility Monday afternoon. “A new chapter in my journey, a great organization. They welcomed me very, very well so it’s a good start. I’m glad to be in a place people embrace me and love me. I’m going to bring my competitiveness and we’re going to have a lot of fun.” “I’m expecting to be a big part of the team, help them become a better team, take it to the next level,” said Avdija. “Honestly, I expect to get better every single day. Come here, work out, get the knowledge of the coaches, the organization. Just become a better player and a better person.” https://www.nba.com/blazers/news/avdija-arrives-ready-to-step-in
That's all some of us has ever wanted. I was so excited when Nurk fever hit and he got to distribute the ball. I was hoping Stotts would embrace it and take advantage, but he didn't. It'll be great if everything hits and we get to watch great basketball again and not iso heavy stuff.
When have they ever done a deal and not introduced the player at an actual press conference with Chauncey and Joe and the jersey.... the whole shebang. WTF was this?
