The Blazers are loaded with defensive players. Here is another one. I just hope he has improved his handles so he can help at the point while Scoot is out.

 
I've been busy, never got the chance to watch these videos. I saw someone saying Sharpe lookin good. Is that right?

Lots of love for a bench player

Yeah thats what I thought too... doesn't really matter how much Sharpe has worked on his game or how good he plays he will be stuck on the bench behind Grant.

Now that Ant and Ayton are gone the Blazers are 100% Grant's team. He's the longest tenured player and has the biggest contract.

Sure looks like a player who will take 3-4 years to play like he belongs in the NBA. Hahahahahahaahahahaha

Asshat, I shared the tweet! I love this kids game. How don’t you realize this. Is this what we have to look forward to all season? The guy makes a couple amazing plays in a game and you chime in with some horseshit post like this? He IS gonna take a few years to develop, that’s normal. Guy is raw. What don’t you understand about this. I could throw together some Luke Babbitt highlights that made him look like the next Larry Bird.

Jrue has said stuff about Shae, so has Tou. Chauncey has been saying great things as well. Whoever is putting out the videos of training camp is either featuring his offense for PR reasons or has a lot to choose from because he's getting a lot of shine there too. I'm excited to see what he brings this season.

You REALLY have something against me, don't you? You don't even know me. Every chance you get, you try to name-call, insult and belittle me. It's rather sad. And you're a media member for the team or something? Way to represent!
 
I know very little about Blake Wesley's game. But I would love to see him succeed as the Blazers' 3rd PG because I do know he can play some D.

https://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/...-blake-wesley-caleb-love-or-someone-else.html

"One team source described Wesley’s game as “electric,” touting his speed, passing, ballhandling and poise. He’s had numerous solid performances over three NBA seasons, reaching double figures in scoring 19 times and recording seven or more assists nine times. And his defense fits nicely on a team that views that as its identity.

“He’s hungry, man,” Billups said. “He’s picking guys up full-court and turning guys, he’s being really disruptive out there. And then, offensively, he’s one of those really fast — like, Scoot-speed — type of guys. He just pushes the pace and keeps the pressure on you.”

I was just reading about him and excited to see what he can do. It's always fun to watch a player who is given that little window of opportunity and some guys just go nuts to try to stamp their spot on a roster and sometimes they can surprise all and make it big.

Nice acronym. I'm sure he's a nice guy, it just needs to chill out a bit. Don't even know who he is, but seems awful full of himself. I mentioned receiving something (a gift) from Damian and then him and some other people are suddenly going out of their minds making assumptions that I'm close to him and the team or something and it's kind of hilarious.

I would be surprised if Wesley isn't ahead of Love on the depth chart.

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.

I honestly don't know how you garner this perspective from seeing these clips. :dunno:

Especially after watching Deni last season.

Let him know he's desperately missed. I still like him better than Calabro. Never liked Calabro and still don't.

MF says "to the cup" or "snugged it in" one more time I'mma tear my hair out.

As many times as he says it, I'll be completely bald before AS break.

The cup thing drives me crazy. Cup is golf, not basketball.

I have a jacket owned by one of the Mikes. Don't know which one as it was given to me by a gentleman who received it from him and I don't remember which he said it was. I think it may have been Barrett.

No. The HCP is chill and a great member of this forum. If you don’t like him then look in a fucking mirror. Hint, it’s you, not him.


How have you been, by the way?

Awe how cute you’re coming to his defense

sure he might be chill, but you see, I’m just giving him a hard time and taste of his own medicine. And that other poster was being sarcastic but that went over his head clearly lol.

He randomly replied to me in another thread with some imo dumb comments so I’m having fun back at him. Before that I rarely had any interaction with him.

Don’t get your panties in a bunch, it’s not that serious lol.

P.S - most of your post are mediocre btw hehe step it up!

I’ll take only one post, as you say, out of the multiple thousands I have had to be mediocre. There was one a few years back where I called Sheed out for being a racist prick at Lloyd Center Toys R Us. Was that it?
