LV Summer League game 2, Blazers vs Mavs - Game thread

[LuckyShot]

Vonleh using his combination of size and agility to just bully his way to the hoop whenever he wants.

 

[Natebishop3]

I really think we need to start this kid.

 

[craigehlo]

What is this madness? a PF that looks to attack the rim instead of take turn around 16 footers?

 

[Sinobas]

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

I agree, dude is not impressing. Of course, he has a lot more time to audition for us.

 

[Further]

Nice to see Vonleh shoot well from the stripe. I'm fearful of arching plum shoot freethrows this year.

 

[Sinobas]

Vonleh is clearly a different caliber athlete than the rest of this summer league crew, which is what you want to see from a legit NBA talent in summer league.

 

[Darkwebs]

Crabbe is on fire!

I did not know PF's could do that? I think I have been brainwashed

 

[Sinobas]

Vonley could earn the starting SF spot. He can shoot!.

 

[riverman]

Now we're cookin'! Crabbe is looking great..this Vonleh kid is going to be a beast

 

[Darkwebs]

If we had Vonleh for the last game, I bet we would've won it.

He's not even known as a particularly good athlete.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Pattie!

 

[Natebishop3]

Right now, if we're going youth movement, I would start

Dame
Crabbe
Aminu
Vonleh
Davis

With these guys coming off the bench.

Frazier
Hendo
Harkless
Leonard
Plumlee

Shit... I forgot CJ!

Yep. a lottery pick that looks like one

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Classic cherrypicking by Thomas.

 

[ripcityboy]

Olshey took Cho to brown town on Vonleh!

No CJ?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Vonleh knows how to foul hard. I like that.

 

[Natebishop3]

Vonleh looks a lot like Bosh, but actually bigger. He has more size.

 

[Natebishop3]

No CJ?

Check my edit!

I actually think they might be thinking of using CJ as the backup PG

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Olshey took Cho to brown town on Vonleh!

Are you doubting the mighty Excel Spreadsheet of CHO?

 

[Natebishop3]

If Frazier had a jump shot, I think MM said this, but dude would be starting somewhere. He has the confidence.

Someone earlier said al Jefferson, which I think is interesting. I've also seen a little JO.

Weird. Every thing I've read on him calls him an athlete.

I think Dame/Frazier(or Sergio)/Henderson and CJ will get all the minutes at guard. Crabbe will compete for a spot at SF, probably with Harkless. Stotts may also be really tempted to play Kaman if he's still on the roster, which will probably bump Vonleh out of the rotation.

He could be a poor man's Rod Strickland?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I think we're gonna be pleased with Ed Davis in the starting lineup. Dude is a straight up hustla

 

[Natebishop3]

I really think I would start Crabbe at the two. He plays good defense, he has good size, and he can shoot. I'm not excited about Hendo, and if we're going youth movement I think that Crabbe is the better choice.

 

[Sinobas]

He's not even known as a particularly good athlete.

In terms of what? He's very fluid. Pat for example, has a higher vertical jump, but you can clearly see who the better athelete is.
