Justice Winslow just signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Bucks...another ex Blazer to get a look from that team!
 
Someone please explain how the Lakers ended up with this Dalton Knect kid who is head and shoulders above any player the Blazers have drafted over the last 3 years?

head and shoulders?

Dude has 1 good game in the pre-season and we're gonna act like that means he's "head and shoulders" above Shaedon?

Before tonight's game he was shooting 39% from the floor, and 27% from 3.

It's pre-season.

Also, dude is 23, and had 3 years of college...and was 20 years old as a freshman.

Shaedon will be in his 5th year by the time he's the same age as Dalton is now.

Shaedon is a full 2 years younger than he is, and at this age, Dalton was at North Colorado ffs.

There is no way that the Lakers wouldn't do a trade Dalton for Shaedon. They'd probably even throw in the second 1st round pick they're refusing to trade to get Jerami.
 
That should’ve been a charging call. Bronny doesn’t have to be facing him to take a charge. The rare run into my back charge.

Hmmm? Something tells me this is questionable at best. You think that was "One" good game? You're going to hear that dudes name all year. Let's see If Sharpe can even play this season.

Alright. I'll bite. Do you even know what the rule on charging? Was he "Stationary" and in a "Guarding Position"?

Seriously just about everything you come up with is whack?

In the NBA, a charging foul is an offensive foul that occurs when an offensive player runs into a stationary defender who has established a legal guarding position:

  • The defender has both feet on the floor

  • The defender is facing their opponent

  • The defender establishes a legal position in the dribbler's path before contact

  • The moving offensive player initiates contact
The penalty for a charging foul is:
  • The offender is assessed an offensive foul
  • The ball is awarded to the offended team on the sideline nearest the spot where play was interrupted

Yeah well that Knecht kid is going to be a good player in this league. I won't say Sharpe won't be good but I have never seen Sharpe take over a game like that whether it be pre season or not.
 
I wanted us to draft Knecht. But I was told that he’s too old to be good.
 
Cronin should try to get Knecht. LA only wants to give up one pick. So just offer Grant for Knecht + fillers.

You know that is the one point that i simply cannot argue against. It's so very true for both Scoot and Sharpe.
Anyway I was kind of more bitching about the lakers getting a decent player with my original statement. The head and shoulders part might have been a bit over the top but at least at this point Knecht looks to be way more NBA ready.

How many times has the "but he's only x" years old excuse turned out to be in reference to a player that actually proved the original statement wrong, vs how many times did it fail...just for Blazers in the modern era. Let's see from memory:

Drastically improved:
Jermaine O'Neal

Ended up being the the duds they looked like when they were young:
Telfair, Webster, Outlaw, Leonard, Little, Woods...

Would like to see his missed shots as well to get a good look at him. See if they were close, forced, etc... But we all talk about Flagg while this guy could easily be the best player. Gonna be a great season.
