RoCo man-crush threat

[Wizard Mentor]

First 15 games:
22/79 =27.8% from 3

Total of 44 games:
88/238 = 38.1%

Therefore, from game 18 to 44 (he didn't play in games 16 and 17):
66/159 = 41.5%

So, after acclimating to the team, he's shooting 41.5% from 3, and providing fantastic positional defense. If this continues, good things will happening.

Powell/RoCo are what I hoped for years Harkless/Aminu would become.

He's a great dude, too, giving back to TSU.

With Powell and this RoCo, we are contenders. This is a much better team than 2019 WCF version.

Get this man more shots dammit!

haven't you said Portland is a contender just about every year since Clinton was President?

 

[MickZagger]

He’s got a sweet looking jumper. The back spin is nice. He can even pull up from a few feet behind the line. I’d like to see him work just a little bit on being able to put it on the floor. I mean he doesn’t have to be pistol Pete, but I think his game can be a little predictable on offense. And he’s not really sitting in the corner like Chuck Person or something.

Can we extend him this summer? How much can we offer? This dude will be valuable into his mid 30s.

RoCo and Norm are the kind of role players that win you a title. We just need to dump Stotts, Melo and CJ. If we can turn CJ into a star small forward we will be in business.

We contend to make the playoffs every year!

Yes and anything we want to offer.

 

[B-Roy]

I think 3/45 is a fair offer.

I suggest you get over it. Stotts is only going when Dame goes. And CJ will only go after Olshey goes.

So it's just a "threat" of having a man crush?

RoCo has been a pleasure to watch play this year for sure. Glad they got him and he is living up to all the excitement he garnered when the Blazers signed him.

 

[Hoopguru]

Our defense has to improve (looking good since Nurk came back), but I feel your positivity. I was just about to give up on the season when CJ went down (I thought he was going to be out for the rest of the season). Good thing this team doesn't quit as easily on themselves as I almost did on them.

They do have perseverance and it builds fortitude and character. Stick ability

In March he averaged about 8 shots per game, with 6 of those being 3's. (50% from the arc) I like his efficiency. So maybe a few more per game as long as he continues to take good ones. But I do like that he knows his limitations.

 

[Cugel]

He is huge to the team's success I think. He is disruptive and an instigator on defense.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

He's like Gerald Wallace with a three point shot - what's not to love?

I liked Crash a lot. He was more dynamic on offense than RoCo, but RoCo has much better BBIQ in my view, on both ends of the floor. RoCo could be the Blazer glue guy on a contending Blazer team if only Portland could land another all-star talent that meshed well with Dame. I don't know how they do that in the next season or two with their cap situation but that's the key to them taking the next step, IMO

Let's just hope that everyone can stay healthy & injury free for the rest of the season!

 

[Natebishop3]

He was more dynamic on offense than RoCo,

Eh...... he was more athletic and he attacked the rim, but I don't know if I'd say he was more dynamic. When his athleticism waned, he fell off a cliff.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Still 3 available...

 

[crandc]

Does he like cats?

 

[Tince]

I was frustrated when RoCo couldn't hit an open shot to begin the season but LOVE what I've seen from him on the offensive end this month... keep it going!

You mean you ENJOY watching a guy shoot 50% from three???

Haha... slightly more than 30%!
