Wow, way to take a simple observation and blow it out of proportion boys! Kind of reminds me of a family member of mine who shall remain nameless .... :lipssealed:

All I said was that so far, I'm unimpressed with Mehvan. I didn't say the sky was falling and I didn't say we should fire Olshey. I simply observed a high-priced guy who is not playing well so far. Even the haters agree he's not playing well yet. Hopefully I'm wrong about him, but certainly it's not an incorrect observation so far.

Lighten up, Francis!

Not playing well in preseason? WE MUST MAKE A THREAD.

Regardless of your intent... it's preseason, it's called tinkering. It's called none of it freaking matters except finding the right rotations and best fits for the players. Shocking, ABSOLUTETLY shocking that not all of it worked out. I MEAN JUST APPALLED!

We played Dame, CJ and Napier less than 60 minutes combined. When we played two of them to start the game we were winning, the rest of the game we played mostly with just one and lost to the nuggets.
Conclusion: we need two of these three players on the floor as much as possible and prefferably bring another guard or give Pat minutes. Playing with just one guard isn't enough even if both Crabbe and Turner are in the game with him

Just stop.
If you had watched any games... Even fan fest... You would have seen Pat has been horrible. Guy can't throw a rock in the ocean even when he's wide open.
Guy looks like Lowry in the 2016 playoffs out there. The baseball player needs to go back to baseball.
You'd think after admitting you haven't watched a game, and that you're a box score hero... You'd listen to people who have watched the games...

I know how Pat is, he is still a very poor shooter but has other advantages, he's a good passer, decision maker and has a winning attitude. My point isn't that he should play but that he's our 4th guard and that we need to play 2 guards as much as possible.
If I had to rate my preffered backcourt it would be:
Dame+CJ
Napier+CJ
Dame+Napier
Dame+Crabbe+Turner
Napier+Crabbe+Turner
Dame/Napier+Pat
The Crabbe and Turner lineup is still better than playing Pat but only if both of them play and CJ isn't the PG

I love how you think Connaughton is a guard and Crabbe & Turner SF's because of their height, when both Crabbe/Turner have guard skills and played as guards in college as well as in the pros, whereas Connaughton was actually a PF in college, and has never actually exhibited any guard skills like ball-handling or effective outside shooting.

If they have guard skills then it would give them an advantage playing SF.
If you play them as guards they have subpar guard skills and you waste this advantage

Nards is a good passer, has a winning attitude, and a pretty good decision maker.
Plumlee is a good passer, has a winning attitude, and is a good decision maker.
If that's your requirement to be the 4th guard.
These two players would fill the role better than the baseball player could.
One of them can shoot, and one of them actually plays defense.
But I'm not going to overreact to rotations or wins/loss in preseason.

No the requirement to being a guard is being a guard. Leonard no doubt can shoot like a guard and he actualy plays defense like a guard, maybe he played guard at some point but he is not a guard. He's too big, not quick enough. He's skilled for a big which is his strength but he's still a PF, he could maybe play C or SF but he's a PF and surely not a guard

Point missed. You're claiming Connaughton is a guard--and more, should be our 4th guard--yet he's less of a guard than Crabbe and Turner.
 
So I realized who Evan Turner reminds me of - a smaller, much less talented Boris Diaw.

Evan and Noah remind me of Batum, who is having another solid season in Charlotte

Boris diaw used to look better when he was younger and slim. Now dude is hefty and slow af. Still smart though.

Yeah, I always appreciated Diaw. Unfortunately it's current-day Diaw that Turner reminds me of...and even then he's smaller, and not as good. But they both have somewhat ugly games, but Diaw made it work.
 
Diaw likely played all 5 positions in his career.
 
His last game gave me hope. That is what I saw from him last year, so I know it is not a one game aberration. He needs to stay away from the 3 pt line and just keep attacking the basket. Playing SG he is usually matched up with a player who he can over power. We have no one else on the team (Other than maybe Vonleh) who can do that.

You are right, which is why I referenced watching him last year.

Lol exactly. These Evan Turner threads are all lol. Some Blazers fans are ridiculous. For example, this thread was started before the season even began. If some of you were in charge of the team we'd be making trades after every game. Get a grip.

One game of good play shouldn't change your opinion of him just like one game of bad play shouldn't the OTHER way.

What's it like to shine ET's car?
 
Good to see ET phone home at last....he's going to be a fan favorite by summer. Most impressive stat of his best game.....zero turnovers!

Right, I think it was fools gold, because in that game, he was just hitting contested mid-range jumpers...Turner is a poor shooter, and doesn't even seem to be good at getting to the rim, so his game is contested mid-range jumpers, which is the least efficient shot.

Looked good at getting to the rim today. Oh and all of last year.....
 
It's like Evan Turner has never played an NBA game before this season. We have no data to go off of except for the last 16 games. Based on those 16 games he's horrible!!!11!1!!!1
