Could we net a single NBA player in exchange for Pat, Jake, and Meyers? A solid backup 3 and D wing would be nice.

Let's just say......it wasn't what I thought it was......

The fuck just happened?

Lol. Connaughton, Meyers, and Layman are not NBA players. It's so obvious. Meanwhile you got two rookies out there in Collins and Briscoe, who are standing out there like "WTF are these guys doing?!"...

I love how Stotts doesn't even let Briscoe run the offense in the fourth quarter of a preseason game.

Briscoe hasn't done one thing this game guys. Jussayin.

Learn to post, then post.

Man I'm glad I didn't pay money for this game.

Hopefully y'all are realizing how Collins only struggles when he doesn't have NBA-level guards next to him.

 

[LuckyShot]

I have a feeling Briscoe would look like shit in a real NBA game. I don't think he can shoot and he's nothing special otherwise. Better off sticking with Napier.

Kyle Wiltjer made it in the league. I guess those St. Mary's fans were wrong.

The answer is no.

I'd take just getting their salary off the books.

Of course he looks better when he doesn't have to shoulder any of the load offensively. He's got almost no offensive game.

Wait, you were invited?

Blazers win! Blazers win!

 

[Strenuus]

LOL we barely won.... thank GOD that besides Collins, none of the scrubs will play.

And yes, Meyers is in the scrub list.

This lineup is a joke. Quit frustrating good rookies. Bench the crap and keep some flow for confidence building.

Adversity is good. They need reps, not hand-holding.

 

[Trackjack]

Yea we won but Olshey and Stotts has some decision to make on some of these players.

 

[LuckyShot]

I love Dame.

 

[noknobs]

LOVED the way Caleb and Nurk looked when they played together to start the 2nd half. Tough and rebounded well.


Meanwhile, we've got Meyers trying to show off his abs after the game...

 

[dviss1]

Collins never looks for his shot..seems he's ok being a role player for now..but he's definitely not a liability out there..like it!

I liked how he doesn't force things. He does a good job of getting to his spots.

 

[LuckyShot]

I missed Morrow's shift but I see he hit 4 threes. How'd he look? Were his shots simply wide open catch and shoots or did he show an ability to do more?

moves well w/o the ball. quick release. Dame was hunting for him and got him open looks

I did too. I thought it was a weakness for him, but I think Swanigan's defense was not a problem while playing with Nurk and Harkless. In fact I thought he did a pretty good job tonight on that end at least from what I saw in the 3rd quarter. He communicates, works hard, and gets after the boards and can hit open shots all the way out to the 3. He fits pretty well with that group.

would fit really well in starting lineup

Nice, thanks. So basically Crabbe on the offensive end.
