Watched Badji twice in person he looks much worse than those stats. He's a stiff with poor movent, no feel for the game. JBJ at least moves very well and looks like he could one day develop into something.

Reath took some dumb 3s but everything else he did was excellent. I see he's 27. I'd still much rather have him on the roster for 3rd/4th string.

Neither look like NBA players to me.

Miller is a DAMN good player! Not sure why some on here have been dusting on him. As if to try to justify Scoot for some reason?

I wasn’t a fan I think he’ll be a decent player juts not 100% sold on him being great. Playing with Ball should help him get a lot of open looks.

I still would have taken Amen ahead of him

He's a Blazer, this one is fine.
 
Why is it our SL team plays so well AS A TEAM? Three games in a row the other team's player has gone off but (apart from a lucky heave by Smith Jr.) we've been pretty comfortable as a team, despite Shaedon struggling most of the time. Can the SL and the regular season teams switch coaches?

It's the roster, Blazers have good players.

Although without Lillard I am interested to see if Billups offense and defense looks very different.

They're running Chauncey's system......

I'll give you a hint why the SL team is so much better than our regular team. Dame and Ant don't play defense. They pound the ball. There's no ball movement. There's no player movement. The guys on the SL team buy into the system.

This is why I'm so encouraged by Sharpe's play, despite his uncharacteristic shooting struggles, and perhaps even BECAUSE of them. If Ant's struggling with his shot he's pretty much useless.

I would love it if someone a lot more talented than me would make a cool compendium of Shaedon dunks set to Space Truckin'.

I have a feeling you will see a guard “pounding” the ball quite a bit this season. All our guards in fact.
