I've seen him play & he's a better player vs. his stats. He's a guy that w/ steady playing time/role, his stats will catch up to his play (MUCH better vs. a player w/ bloated stats that doesn't do crap!). He's still young (24) & it looks like he will improve; Tim though, it doesn't look to me like he'll really get better.
Danny Ainge had really great things to say about Pressy..I watched his play and some cuts of him..the dude is a physical freak for a small guy. Better ballhandler and passer than Frazier from what I saw but a gym rat like Wes was..he has the x factor Frazier doesn't really show me..both guys are fast. neither is a good defender
I had to like this post for #4. for dumb as TRob etc...and the Conaughton can't smile gets me everytime!
He really looks like a heavy weight contender..the guy is a mountain

Been my thinking as well, Montero's a looong way off.
Agreed on all counts.Montero will make the roster. He is the perfect #15 guy. He's not going to command playing time but can do some things that only 1 or 2 other Blazers on the entire roster can do. His contract is for 3 years. It's not all guaranteed but they signed him to that because they believe if he can get some good coaching and practice against higher caliber players, he has some unique skills. I would take him out of this discussion.
It's down to Frazier, Pressey and Alexander and IMO, it's really down to Frazier/Pressey.

All of this, AND Montero could potentially play SG - the weakest position in the NBA. Undersized PGs are a dime a dozen. There is absolutely zero reason for Montero to be cut while holding onto two undersized, and marginally talented PGs. It's not like either Frazier or Pressey is Nate Robinson or Isaiah Thomas.Montero will make the roster. He is the perfect #15 guy.

Then Pressey goes. But unless something horrific happens during camp, Montero won't be cut ahead of Frazier/Pressey.But but but Frazier is Lillards buddy.
Agreed. If the 3rd string PG was smart enough to get in tight with Dame, keep him and let the other one go. Since neither of them would get any playing time unless it was a blowout or due to an injury, it doesn't really matter. If either Timmy or the Son of Paul is playing significant minutes, we can start planning the "We're #1 Draft Lottery Party" right now.
