Free Agent Blazer sign 2nd 2-way 7'er

[Cugel]

He won't play a ".

 

[PtldPlatypus]

For someone who is over 7' tall, he sure looked about 6'5" in that video.

He's actually more like Fletch. 7'1", 7'5" with the 'fro

 

[illmatic99]

Jeeez he's all skin and bones. Makes Chet look somewhat normal.

 

[HailBlazers]

Just what we need, a center that plays like a guard.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I demand to see footage of Nurk posting him up in practice.

Talking about weights; reminded me of something crazy I saw today:
@DaneMooreNBA


Anthony Edwards weight: 239 Karl-Anthony Towns weight: 238

 

[handiman]

I had to look this up, just to make sure my guess has [chicken] legs... Sure enough, Butler is the lightest guy on the team, even lighter than Ant!

Seems they colud have found a 6'9-6'10 265 pound forward center that can bang, board, and defend some. Hopefully Watford can turn into a young Ben Wallace type. Need someone bigger though.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Should i delete? He knows i give loves.

i know, but Chris has to be at least 5’?

 

[Jelloman]

Just because he is listed as a center, doesn't mean he needs to be huge and bang inside. They probably see him more as a stretch 4 or a tall/long 3. Think KD guys. Honked twice finally!

You know why right?

You keep thinly KD and I’ll go more with the Moses guy that was on our team a couple years ago.

I see potential in him. I see his ceiling as KD. KD's Junior year in Highschool.

I wish.

He's more likely Keljin (D)Blevins than Kevin Durant.

I don't see it, no rich cousin, probably won't last two 2-way contract. Keljin still the GOAT of Portland's 2-way.

More likely using him as a jump rope.

 

[BBert]

5'4

And probably

So same as action hero Tom Cruise.

Maybe Edwards came into camp a little out of shape?

No sir, Townes has been super sick and lost like 40 pounds.

Interesting...I had missed those reports. Looking into it after reading your post, I just now saw an article mentioning that he was already planning on losing weight to try to be more effective (quicker?) at the PF spot, but I doubt that was the way he wanted to do it. I see that he only played 2 games in the preseason, with questionable play quality to say the least. It will be very interesting to see how effective he is in that role and in his current physical condition.

I did not know that.

 

[THE HCP]

I did not know that.

Just heard the Wolves announcers talking about how long he has been sick. He lost family during Covid and I think he was taking it super seriousz

 

[Fairly-Hard]

More likely using him as a jump rope.

Even this kid can rip a piece of Charmin.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

He's signing with Portland on a two-way deal...

Mods delete/merge. I saw there was a report about it a few days ago, but it's just being announced today, so it's showing as news in my feed....
