Game Thread BLAZERS SUMMER LEAGUE 2024

[Foxx]

We should trade him to Sacramento. That way they could sneakily manage Keegan's minutes by putting Kris in in a Keegan jersey and the other team would have to guard him as if he could score.

yeah. Unfortunately I think we’ll be watching him get way too many mins this year. I thought he was going to look “more confident” but so far same ol hesitancy to attack. Way too passive rn

 

[inconceivable]

Clingan is just a dude that’s gonna help us win. He’s way ahead of his age. He could be a triple double threat.

He's pretty much Jokic 2.0

 

[inconceivable]

He's a better SCORER, but he's pretty one-dimensional. Rupert and Kris are better defenders.

Minaya may be the best of the four, though.

Was that minaya who fouled too soon at the end of the game? It was so dumb. Pressure the ball first, the foul when he crosses midcourt

It's too bad because he has become a pretty good defender and a decent passer. He is really struggling with his 3 though. He has one more year IMO to improve it. I have seen worse shooters do it so there is still hope for him.

certainly some guys have shot the three ball like shit their rookie seasons. Gary Trent Jr. shot 24% on three's but it was only 21 attempts

But the red flags are he only shot 66% from the FT line last season; and in 3 years at Iowa he shot under 35% on the college three (313 attempts), and 69.8% on FT's. Those marks may not be predictive, but they usually are

didn't watch but box score looks like Clingan played really well; Murray not so much

does McGowens look like he's roster-worthy?

McGowens looks like a dollar store CJ, in all the bad ways.

He looks like Cuba Gooding Jr

Not sure about McGowens, but every time I want to write off Minaya....I change my mind.

I was at the game, Cling won this one at the end for us. He def had at least 3 more paint shots he missed but probably would have made in time when he’s more consistent in his shooting. Two he went in totally out of control and got blocked when he could settle for little floaters and whatnot.

Guys, we have a gem.

That's it! It was driving me crazy!

 

[CJ_is_Gone]

They probably don't want too many other teams to see Cui. Someone might offer him a two-way contract. The Blazers probably want him on the Remix without using the two-way.

Other teams could still 'steal' him by offering him a two way contract

love hearing that from chauncey about scoot

I had the sound off.
What did he say?

 

[Natebishop3]

He's pretty much Jokic 2.0

His passing could be very Jokic light.

His offense has a long way to go but he is probably a better defender than Jokic right now.

Josh hart, shane battier types aren't common.

 

[Whyachi]

Oh I wouldn't worry about that

if Yongxi hit his halfcourt shot, then Bryce would have a better +/-

 

[CJ_is_Gone]

does McGowens look like he's roster-worthy?

I would say no...

 

[SheedSoNasty]

#7 Draft Pick Donovan Clingan with CLUTCH BLOCK

he sure had some nice looking passes

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Clingan>Ayton

defensively but no where close offensively. Fans are truly under appreciating how good Ayton. He’s still an above average center. I like the how their skill sets compliment each other

People also tend to forget Timelord is a legit NBA backup C

And if he had knees that didn't break everytime something brushes up against them that would mean something.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

He's pretty much Jokic 2.0

So, we've had Marc Gasol and Jokic. Anyone going for Prime Sabonis while we're getting all overexcited?

 

[tlongII]

Clingan looks like he'll be a solid player fairly soon. He just needs minutes.

Clingan>Ayton

We all knew this post was coming during summer league.

 

[Sedatedfork]

I really liked what I saw out of Clingan yesterday. He looks like a player that just helps the team in so many ways. It looks like he was having fun too.

Now THAT is fandom right there.

Scoots been working hard
Everything that was said he took personal
He’s going to be elite
The beast in him is ready to come out

Scoot has that “it” factor.

a lot of our guys do. Let’s heal from losing andDame and move forward all together now..
