Threebler

[Fez Hammersticks]

In the past few months, there's one general Twitter question that comes my way from fans in Portland: will Jon Diebler come over next season?


Those same Rip City die-hards tend to ask the same about Joel Freeland for Unicaja Malaga ( yes, Portland still owns his rights) and although the upcoming offseason will help answer those questions, the Blazers brass are keeping close tabs on Diebler's season in Greece with Panionios.

The 6-foot-6 swing guard out of Ohio State leads the team in scoring with 10.3 points per game, and is shooting 57% from the field and 53% from 3-point. Sure, it's the Greek League and not the NBA, but keep it mind what Portland's front office is gauging here during his first season overseas: overall growth in his game.

Diebler -- as he told Ridiculous Upside in January -- would like to make the move to Portland next season and with a revamped roster in the works this summer for Portland, it's still a possibility. The two sides will talk, review Diebler's time in Greece and negotiate from there.

With Babs and Keebs, maybe Stan Van Gundy and his Three Point Circus of an offense isn't so bad.

Another project . . . at this stage, why not.

I'm really hoping the Blazers trade their lottery picks, but if they don't, why not fill the team with a bunch of youngins and play the lottery for a few years

He's still not Isaiah Thomas.

10.3 points per game on a low-level European team. He don't need no extra year on a high-level one. He may even be good enough to carry Crawford's jock.
