Montero hits a mid range jumper

 

[craigehlo]

Montero has promise. Quick release.

 

[Further]

Anyone know if the NBA summer league pass is blacked out in our area?

I haven't heard anyone mention it. It works great in Walla Walla

More minutes for Montero

Vonley with the nice handle and dunk.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I want to see Montero run the point a bit.

 

[Darkwebs]

Montero looked unaware of the time there.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Vonleh is gonna be good in a year or two. Just gotta get him some burn and experience and let him grow into his body

 

[riverman]

Much better game than the first one..Crabbe looks settled in and Vonleh is going to be a very good player. I feel better after watching this first half. Orton played better too.

 

[LuckyShot]

Montero looked unaware of the time there.

So did Frazier. He just mindlessly passed him the ball in the corner when he was already covered with 2 seconds left. What's Montero supposed to do?

 

[Further]

More impressed with Orton today, not scoring, but making better decisions on D today. He won't land in PDX, but I won't be surprised if some team that needs a 15th man snags him. He's so raw he makes Vonleh look like MJ, but he has some raw D abilities.

I was most impressed with Vonleh that half. The reverse dunk and one was awesome. He certainly does ooze potential. Nice pickup.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers are playing great...Fraizer and Crabbe are more confident...and I like what I'm seeing from vonleh

 

[ripcityboy]

We need a backup PG. Frazier can dish but he can guard a gnat.

 

[PCmor7]

I like how smooth and natural Montero looks handling the basketball. Low risk/moderate reward player who could build a niche for himself on a team in a number of ways.

 

[RoyToy]

Montero has that flash to him that makes him an exciting/intriguing player. Reminds me of Rudy Fernanadez before he went to shit.

I badly want to see more.

 

[LuckyShot]

What shouldn't be lost while watching the game today and over-praising our players is that the competition is awful.

 

[Mediocre Man]

We need a backup PG. Frazier can dish but he can guard a gnat.

Could you? Gnats are tiny and quick

 

[ripcityboy]

Could you? Gnats are tiny and quick

Alright. A three toed sloth on quaaludes.

Has some positives but has yet to hit a shot outside of 5' in two games.

I'd rather give PT to him than Harkless, who's already almost washed out of the NBA before his rookie deal is up. High reward for the limited risk.

 

[Sinobas]

Vonleh has a really nice skillset, and don't forget that he's a very good shooter.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I thought we were tanking for a summer league lottery pick?

 

[Natebishop3]

Pat just doesn't look...... how do I put this...... like an NBA player?

 

[BonesJones]

Pat just doesn't look...... how do I put this...... like an NBA player?

he's playing tentative, just needs some time

 

[Natebishop3]

Crabbe looks MUCH better today.

 

[Further]

Alright. A three toed sloth on quaaludes.

Three toed sloths on quaaludes may be slow, but that are surprisingly strong, like George Costanza.

 

[ripcityboy]

Pat just doesn't look...... how do I put this...... like an NBA player?

I see some ability in him, just has too develop his instincts. He is never going to be a great defender, but he could be a good clutch shooter. He AIN'T Mark Price.

 

[Darkwebs]

Crabbe has found the touch tonight

 

[Natebishop3]

I like Vonleh. He's aggressive.
