Video: "Sights and sounds from training camp"

It seems to me that Robinson's problem is (like Leonard) that he gets the ball and then has to think about what he's going to do. He's not instinctive. So the ball just stops in his hands. He's going to get stripped by guards a lot.

What exactly are you basing this on? From this video and the youtube video a few posts up, the dude is dominating.

Another related thing I noticed in the video highlights is he appears to leave his feet too early. I imagine that has something to do with him getting roofed way more than you would expect from someone with his length, strength, and leaping ability.

In both cases, he needs to hone the fundamentals and not rely on athletic prowess.

@blazerbanter: Crabbe shows good defensive instincts stealing a pass and going coast to coast for a bucket plus the foul.

He's back in playing. HCP is being selective in the tweets he's posting.

@BlazerFreeman: CJ McCollum suffered a left foot sprain during the #Blazers Saturday practice. Coach Terry Stotts isn't sure about severity of injury.

Jeeze... I don't remember having this many injuries during training camp. Maybe the dudes need to take it down a notch? lol

Ouch, CJ's injury is to the same one he broke in college. Damn!

I can't tell if there's more injuries, or if little things are just being reported more than usual.

You're being selective because of your 15 hour work day.

@BlazerFreeman: One thing to keep in mind with CJ McCollum's injury: It's to same foot that suffered a broken bone last season, ending his college career.

LMAO, Sly. I'd argue that's a personal attack, but I'm pretty sure we have enough evidence to support the claim.

@ChrisBHaynes: Terry Stotts optimistic Will Barton (concussion) will be available for Fan Fest. He expects LaMarcus Aldridge (quad) to participate, too.
