Or you need to learn basketball. I’m sure YouTube has some tutorials that would help you out.

ok homer. Says the guy that probably thinks Keon will be more than a role player (like Mathurin as you stated) just because he wears a Blazers uni.

It felt two different games depending on if Garza or Walker was on the court.

 

[julius]

Not hating but what’s the difference between Walker this Summer League and Biggie his first summer league(besides the shooting). I really really hope he hits but I’m gonna need to see him against non scrubs.

Well, Caleb couldn't jump to save his life.

Keon hustles, but so far what I have seen, he doesn't really stand out. He hasn't really shown me an NBA level game. His ball handling is weak (which isn't great for a guard.)

I get the sentiment, but they’re two completely separate players.

Cool story bro…

I can tell from your posts that you’re already biased against him. Put it this way, even with the raw percentage and missed free throws, he’s still got 11 points on 8 shots.

but I don’t even care about his offense. He’s showing way more on defense which is what is gonna get him on the floor.

He is a Blazer. I want to like him. I think some of you are just overcompensating because we have lacked any resemblance of defense from guards for so long.

He shows flashes of D. The rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired.

i don't see him as a two way guy. he's not close offensively. good energy on defense, but i don't see him being more than the 12th guy.

 

[James lamphear]

Johnson and Williams doing terrible job handling this end this game.

 

[riverman]

In summer league with guys you've barely played hoops with..you're guards are going to turn the ball over. People won't be there when they lead a pass or thread the needle pretty often..that shit takes reps

I never said it would happen this year. There’s gonna need to be some injuries before that happens.

But the tools are clearly all there. And the way he plays is gonna get him on the floor with who our coach is.

that wording is in poor taste

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Someone needs to put the cat out.

I wasn’t really speaking for this year. Just for his career in general.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

that wording is in poor taste

Yeah. Pretty gross.

 

[DDolla]

Great game Watford and Walker

 

[illmatic99]

Yeah. Pretty gross.

i want to give @julius the benefit of doubt and say that was not intentional. but that was disgusting. hope he edits that.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

A cool 16-13 for Walker. Nice game.

 

[Natebishop3]

Walker is a Zach Randolph kind of guy... you don't need to run plays for him. He just finds ways to score.

 

[illmatic99]

guess who came over to bail out the inbound passer when he was being trapped

 

[julius]

I'm not going to edit it, because it wasn't intentional, and it's a well known saying.

A slight overreaction on your part.

 

[riverman]

Solid win tonight...these guys get better qtr by qtr throughout the game...that's a good sign...Watford and Walker me feel real good about this offseason..

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice to see that Chet is a Blazer fan.

 

[illmatic99]

They needed to shoot that. Point differential could determine whether we're in the final or not

That's Chet in 5 years maybe.

 

[riverman]

I'll say I'd rather have Keon and Greg Brown on the end of the bench than Elleby and Blevins

 

[James lamphear]

To me another impressive showing by Walker a double double. Show he can play defense by moving his feet. When he get experience you can say he just might be a big steal for the Blazers.

Clearly there's no guarantee of continued success following summer league, but Biggie was a first rounder (and had nearly unique challenges to overcome in the long run). Walker is a late second rounder and not the focus of this team.

Him kicking butt is nothing but good news

 

[James lamphear]

But overall they won the game by playing defensive and so really good hustle.

 

[DDolla]

Ok who picked Walker? Is that Cronin or the new guy?
