I don't know if it's just our video guys but it looks like Shaedon is going to be one of the only guys who can really break down opposing defenses without being a ball stopper.

It would be nice to see Jerami willing to move the ball if he couldn't get himself going right away but we've seen him just hold the ball and the entire offense come to a grinding halt when he does... same thing would happen with Ant (we will miss Ant's shooting though).

Edit: Also if you watch this video, I'm not sure if it's just the camera angle but on his break away Rupes looks extremely long, like he barely had to leave his feet to get that dunk. I wonder what his standing reach is now. He's definitely grown since we drafted him.
 
Good writeup. Billups motto this year:
“Make ‘Em Uncomfortable.”

Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups told reporters he created the motto as a way to set the tone this season on both sides of the ball. The phrase was even printed on the back of his shirt in block letters.

“I always kinda have a word every year that I think will be our barometer for our team,” Billups said. “My word for us this year is just ‘uncomfortable.‘ We want to work to make people uncomfortable. Obviously, defensively, that’s our pressure and our physicality. Offensively, it’s our speed and getting in that paint. … It’s who we have to be if we’re going to be any good.”

A lot oof impressions of Holiday and Yang,
