Good to see Ellebe’s airball streak continues into this game…

Elleby starts right where he left off - 2 attempts that couldn't even draw rim.

An impressive run.

He's a second round pick....why so much hate? You're acting like we drafted him with the number 1 pick lol.
 
Can Faried helps this team at 32 years young?

I don't hate Elleby, but air-balling a majority of your attempts is not standard for a 2nd round pick.

Also, because we either trade away our 1st round pick or haven't drafted a starting caliber 1st round pick since 2014, selecting impact 2nd round picks is very important, no?

It’s not hate as much as it is the expectation that’s he’s a professional in basketball and airballed jumpers and floaters x7 is inexcusable. If you did that in rec league you’d be booted off the court!
 
Pete and Hayward talking about the Blazers and they are right… We Just Suck!

I mean obviously it'd be nice to hit on a second round pick but we've had a pretty good track record with second round picks developing into a serviceable NBA player with NO. You can't hit on all of them and CJ unfortunately looks like a miss but again it's just his second year.

We turned GTJ into Powell, which is very nice.

Outside of that, what 2nd round draft pick is/was used to provided us a meaningful assest on today's roster or was a consistent role player? I'm not sure our 2nd round draft pick success is better than average. I'm near certian our 1st round pick success in the last 8+ years is well below average.

His stats don't jump off the page, but he's the only guy I've watched in these three games where I think what he's doing here can actually translate into an actual NBA game.
 
Greg Brown's jumpshot is so fluid and he shoots it with confidence. Even his misses are close. No doubt he can develop that shot in his career.
 
Both announcers are gushing about Greg Brown.
 
is brandon clarke a good comp for Brown?

Clarke was 22 his rookie year though
 
It’s crazy what a difference plus athleticism makes. You can tell how raw Brown is but he still makes plays just because he’s the best athlete on the court. I will say his shot looks nice even when he misses.
