Can we get a Nassir Little appreciation thread?

Who would’ve guessed that long, high energy guys could help us?

Hopefully the guy that told NeO that he was 6'3'' before he was drafted

the podcast with haynes was legitimately good. Nas gave some insight into last year as well where he thought terry actually wanted to play him more but couldn't because of the roster construction.

he said he understands why norm/cj get the starts over him and is making the most of his role.

i really wish we could see him get 30 mpg consistently on the wings but he either gets hurt or has guys ahead of him in the lineup whenever that chance presents itself.

Last night's 22/9

Little in January

12 starts
31mpg
13ppg
45% FG
40% 3PT

Looks like the earlier theory that the more he plays the better he shoots is true. Also seems more consistent defensively. Billups can’t bench him and if he does it better be temporary and a Powell/CJ trade is imminent. Whatever they do, Nas has to be our starting small forward.

He was able to come back last night, but I'm wondering if the front office found his slight injury to actually be a diagnosis of 'tankitus?

Is this thread sponsored by Blue Cross , Kaiser, or MODA?

I think this is the appropriate thread to ask this question

Is next years roster shaping up to be the most athletic Blazers team in recent memory?

Probably, but it due to them being way more willing to run out on the fast break. Haven’t seen that from a blazers team since I don’t know when

How could you possibly know? I see 5 maybe 6 of these players on our roster next season and the rest in the G-League or Europe at best if they pray.

Yeah, I have no idea what next year's roster will look like because if Joe keeps the job then we're building around Dame which most likely means trading picks for vets. If Joe doesn't keep the job I could definitely see someone coming in here and selling the Vulcans on moving Dame for young talent and picks to build around with Ant, Nas and our pick... assuming that if Joe is gone the Pelicans pick is probably gone too.
