Media day questions for the players

[SlyPokerDog]

The Blazers have reached out and offered media day access to RipCityTwo! I wasn't home this evening and didn't check email until just now so I might be too late in getting back to them. I don't think I'll know for sure until Monday morning.

If I do get to go I believe I'll get to ask the players individually questions.

So, what are some of the questions you would like me to ask the players?

Whats their take on Papag being banned?

"Who?"

Do they believe dinosaurs could have co-existed with man?

I would like to know if Stotts agrees with Lillard that LA should take a step back and shoot more threes even at a lower percentage because it's possible his eFG% would improve.

Also, what's the plan to lower Leonard's center of gravity and get him knocking butts on the block a bit better?

A question for Neil:

What offer most offended you -- Lee/Rush for LMA or Asik/garbage for LMA?

But on a serious note -- (question for RoLo) is Portland weird enough for you?

Will Stotts continue the "CJ can get minutes at backup PG" experiment during pre-season?

With the top 4 guys back from last year, will Stotts expand the playbook, even though just about everyone else is new?

Can Stotts (or LMA) talk about their decision/plan to have him shoot more 12-22' jumpers (by far) than anyone in the league last year, at a 42% eFG? And if that's going to continue?

The team has an entirely new medical staff. What type of changes have they made? Are there any examples of new exercises or diets working well for any players?

That would be a tough question because this is media day.... they haven't really started working with the players yet.
