I'm not usually a fan of per 36, BUT I find it interesting that his per 36 is 17 ppg and 11 boards is almost EXACTLY what he averaged at Kansas.

TRob at Kansas - 17.7 ppg, 11.9 rebounds
TRob Per 36 - 16.8 ppg, 11.3 rebounds

I really like TRob. I just think he needs playing time. Sacramento and Houston will regret tossing him away after only a season.

Yes. His best game was in the win against the Suns because LMA got if foul trouble.

He definitely should've had four blocks, not two. He had the two HUGE blocks a minute or two apart, I believe, in the second quarter. Then a few minutes later, he had two on the same possession (about 2 or 3 seconds apart). Not sure how they only got him down for two, either, HCP!

Yes thats exactly what I saw. I DVR'd the game and replayed the two on the same possession in slow mo to make sure he got both. Maybe they omitted two of his blocks since he only had a piece of the shot instead of slamming it back. Very encouraging sign.

He has been our best bench player thus far. I hope none of our starters have an injury but a small piece of me is curious to see what TRob could do in that role for a few games.

If he progresses to the point where he's worthy of a starting role, some team is going to try and pay him like one when his rookie contract expires ... so I guess what I'm saying is don't get too comfortable.

If his defense continues to improve he could be a 30mpg guy off the bench, we could slide LaMarcus or TRob to center when they both are on the court together. Give LaMarcus 36mpg and Lopez/Trob each 30 mpg.

Going into this year LA, Wes and Nic were the only players on the Blazers for more than a single season. So worrying if we will have a role for TRob 3+ years from now is probably getting way to far ahead of ourselves.
