Nice game against a solid team. Hopefully he can surprise us.
 
The Blazers need to finally get a hit on one of these draft-and-stash guys. The money aside used to "buy" them, the depth of talent is so shallow on the roster right now, he or Freeland really need to be able to make an impact ... especially with Babbitt looking like he hasn't made many strides entering year 3.

Interesting because I always thought it was the other way around. Regardless, we'll see. We'll also see if either of them is "good enough."

Claver is > Freeland in the sense that Oden is > Noah. You just have to forget health and actual productivity and focus on the fact that at 16 yo Claver was viewed as the brighter prospect.
 
I'd be happy if those were his season averages with us!
 
I'm watching Argentina right now and they have the offense I want for this team.

Constant motion, cutters, unselfishness.
 
Prigioni will be the starting PG over Felton.

Mark it down.

In two games against Australia earlier in the week Claver had:

7 pts, 2/4 shooting, 2/2 3pt, 0 reb, 0 ast, in 12 min

2 pts, 0/6 shooting , 0/3 3pt, 1 reb, 0 ast, in 19 min

Tonight we might get to see him vs USA. Hopefully he plays some solid minutes. This will be a good "speed test"
 
Ugh. I'd like to get a glimpse of Claver, but I can barely stomach watching "Team USA". I'll probably be too busy anyway.

During one of the Knicks summer league game, the commentators were joined by Felton, and he said he would have gone to the Knicks even if they had retained Lin, because he's "confident in his game." Which I took to mean he though he would beat Lin out anyways and get more playing time. If he gets beaten out by someone he's probably never heard of he'll probably go on a doughnut eating binge.

Generally a lot of that is related directly to players' salaries. Felton's 3mil/yr will not deter Woodson if he wants to bench Ray.
