Kind of surprised Malcolm retired. Heart must not be in it anymore....physically he looked good to go and better than any other bench guard for NY minus McBride this preseason (Clarkson is going to be a huge bust of a signing imo) ...And they are down Hart to start the year most likely.

Jase Richardson has been very impressive so far on preseason. Orlando needed a dynamic off ball player and now they've got two in Des and Jase. Very high on what they could do this year. Wendell looks like he's set for a bounce back offensive year too. Jumper looks pure and overall just a way...

Very enjoyable group of people/personalities. Excited to root for them again this year.

Tough news. Hope they don't rush him back. For now....you pray Jrue holds up and can play 32-34 minutes a game and Deni and Shaedon are able to take on more ball handling / playmaking duties. Jrue 32/ Deni 16 Shae 32 / Tisse 16 Tou 33 / Tisse 6 / Murray 9 Deni 19 / Grant 26 / Murray 3 Clingan...

Scoot flashed his special tools much more this year and the run he went on in January was hopefully a sign of what we will see more consistently in year 3. Biggest thing that got me excited was the defensive focus and effort we saw from January on up until we weren't trying to win anymore...

I'm conflicted. Happy he's back but if Scoot makes the jump I think he might make this year with his first healthy off-season, things might get interesting. But like most have said, it's a good problem to have. Feel better about it after the presser.

I was just going off the 240 minutes available in a game, obviously rest and injuries are going to affect season long mpg.

Rough sketch of it... Tisse, Yang and Murray will get their opportunities during Jrue and Rob Will load management / injuries / b2b rest days. And obviously more so if Grant is moved. Scoot (30)/ Jrue (18) Jrue (12) / Shae* (31)/ Tisse (5) Camara (32) / Deni (12) / Tisse (4) Deni (20) / Grant...

Mike Richman made it sound like it was all a timing issue. The thing I haven't seen mentioned from his latest podcast is that the majority of Blazers media were in Vegas when Jrue was in PDX and out of respect for their jobs, wanted to have them there when they did the presser.

Interesting...he's always looked 215+ whenever I've seen him over the last 3 years

Sidy was 224lbs at the combine and listed at 220 on the SL roster so commentator just misread it.

And I don't think any of his turnovers have been passing related. It's not just the passes he makes, but the passes he decides to not make are also very impressive.

I'm glad Caleb Love and James Bouknight are here to remind you. That last possession ending in an airballed Bouknight layup was very fitting haha

:smiley-smiley-049: In other news, it's incredible he hasn't been called for defensive 3 seconds yet
