Exclusive Welcome Zach Collins!

[ripcityboy]

Really liked Collins in the few times I saw him play. He is NOTHING like Meyers.

WHITE TOWERS! WHITE TOWERS!

Blazers twitter is super annoying shitting on this beast just because...he's white?

WHITE TOWERS! WHITE TOWERS!

The Lunch Pail Squad.... These Guys are such gym rats they all leave their whiskers at the gym door before they go in! The MOST DECEPTIVELY ATHLETIC FRONT COURT IN THE NBA!!

Im not even one of them

Basketball is where whites face the most oppression...

 

[Boise Blazer]

If he does work out for us AND he has a mean streak like Nurk that would be beautiful

I thought it was our from hips when we dance???

 

[PHXBlazer1]

It's not impossible to have a white all-star..just not as common. I hope Neil got it right! Give me the next Kevin McHale

 

[Scalma]

This is the best.

 

[Strenuus]

If Collins busts, we may never see Fez again.

 

[bulls_with_booz]

drafting whitey willaby is a risk but who knows he might end up being a starter

Sub "most" with "only"?

I was ahead of the game in saying LA sucked. My draft prediction was we trade up to draft Zach Collins, so believe me when I say he'll be good. For all those concentrating on his skin color, don't know what's wrong with you. What if someone were complaining about a player being Asian or south american?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I'd rather have Justin Jackson & still have the 20th pick

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

If he busts I never wanna read another "let's draft (insert gonzaga player)!" thread.

 

[oldfisherman]

Zach has enough game I am whiling to give him a chance. I like him better than Markkannen.

The only thing that stands out is his assist (0.4) to turnover ration (1.5) is beyond horrible. Hope that is not a BBIQ problem? But the rest of his stat line looks very healthy.

I did not believe anyone @20 was going to make an impact from the bench anytime soon. And @15, it was a crap shoot for a starter, maybe. So using both picks to get a potential good starting PF is fine with me.

Zach should get BUPF/C minutes from the opening night game. And compete for the starting PF job with Vonley.

Blazers fans can be some of the worst in the NBA.

 

[Pinwheel1]

So you are saying he can play defense? Hmm this must confuse a few posters since he is..........white. They wanted to get better defensively but is it really possible..... based on the color of his skin?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'm gonna be 100% honest I rather have kept 20 and been able to take Patton at 15

Please continue with this thought.....

 

[Sinobas]

I really believe we've drafted our Power Forward of the Future. And we already have our center position set with Nurkic. Only one position left. I'm ecstatic about this pick. This is the #1 guy I wanted for months.

Now we just need to shed some salary...trade Ed Davis for a future pick, hopefully we can get rid of Leonard somehow.

You won't feel that way after you see Collins play.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

You won't feel that way after you see Collins play.

I watched Gonzaga a lot and he's got potential but he really seemed like a guy that should've stayed another year to showcase his skill as a heavy minutes player...

 

[Pinwheel1]

Maybe our window just got younger. Are we building around a front court who is 19 and 22? Just kidding Dame

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Is Collins better than Vonleh right now?

It is unfair to him but Meyers has scarred a lot of us.

no

Much better offensively. Similar defensively although Vonleh has more of a wingspan.
