No They were gone soon as Aldridge decided to go to SA. Olshey stated it was up to Aldridge if they were bringing back Wes, Lopez, and Batum. They were history anyway without Aldridge

I think it had more to do with how he played Basketball for four years at Notre Dame, than combine numbers.

How many American Caucasian players were drafted ? I think he is doing what the coaches want him to.

50+ ( If Stotts is a decent coach )

He's pretty strong watch the Kentucky game, he was guarding a 6'10 250 lbs Trey Lyles. Out rebounded all of their bigs combined, not long rebounds either under the basket banging with those boys.

I think he will get playing time. He just seems to always be in the right spot.

Just thought it was interesting that is who he compared himself to before the draft. Yes he is a lot more athletic version.

“I try to disprove that day in and day out,” he said. “People try to compare me to (Atlanta Hawks guard) Kyle Korver right off the bat just because I can shoot a little bit and I’m a white basketball player. “It’s just a matter of coming out and playing and showing that I can be just as...

That is my biggest concern, hoping for open competition and that determines the starters. I just want the 5 best team players to be the starters. Whoever plays the best together and go from there. Stotts has work to do if anyone is on the hot seat, its him.

Nothing to do with who starts, just stating anything can happen.

People were saying that in 1976-77.

Harkless is a very good defender also. Will be fun to see what Stotts can come up with, I feel like we have way more option's on the offensive side than last year. Can come up with all kinds of line ups with these guys. Olshey might even add more pieces but I'm cool with what he has done to...

Lillard - Cj - Frazier Connaughton - Cj - Henderson ( Connaughton moves really well without the ball and deadly from range, can drive finish or pass. ) Crabbe - Aminu - Harkless ( Crabbe better from range atm. I think this spot will have the most competition ) Leonard - Vonleh - Davis Plumlee...

Pat " Clutch" Connaughton could be very special for Portland and Lillard.

/salute Wes He earned every penny.
