You like my new high end zone camera angle???

Totally. 100%. In the clip I took this from, there were 4 different angles to choose from. This one showed this particular play perfectly.

I thought everyone agreed on Fuckboi for Zach’s nickname? It’s hip and catchy

I can hear Moda chanting it now...

Fuck.........Boi...........Fuck.........Boi...

I seriously thought about typing this exact sentence.

Were you gonna also type my edited version about the chanting cause that would be sick to hear chanted.

#33 jerseys with Fuckboi across the back would be more popular than you might think.

With our history of jersey #33. We should nickname Zack "Not Shareef Abdur Rahim".

 

[Titan]

Wow so many nicknames to pick. Based on GoT if we can’t settle on just one name, then he clearly has become no one. Someone should check his address to find out if he lives at The House of Black and White.

Yeah, but Meyers 50/40/90 season was on pretty limited attempts. He didn't come close to actually qualifying for an official 50/40/90 season. For example, he only shot 32 FTs that entire season. Zach Collins, a 20-year old rookie who didn't even crack the rotation until January has already shot more FTs (33) than Meyers did that entire season.

With Zach's defense and aggressive nature, he should have no problem getting the minutes the attempts necessary to qualify for an official 50/40/980 season in the future. The question, of course, is can he shoot that well over an extended period. Right now, he's taking people by surprise. That won't last. People (other players, the media) are already stating to notice you can't leave the rookie wide open at the 3-point line.

These high percentage shooting numbers show the potential that Meyers has as influenced by confidence from the coaches, fans, teammates, and himself. I imagine that the 50/40/90 might be possible for both Meyers and Zach with encouragement. What if Blazer fans would provide positive thinking for Meyers to be his best?

With well executed team play and passes, and spreading the court, both swish3 shooters can find open shots that do not depend on the surprise element. I don't agree that the advantage won't last. Having the threat of swish3 shooting and driving the lane from the guards plus the big man swish3 threat is a winning strategy that is hard to defend.

What the fans have done to support Zach is an excellent example of boosting Blazer performance. Both Zach and Meyers may reach 50/40/90, or at least 45/35/85, with strong fan support. This idea makes sense for all of the Blazers. This Blazer team at its best is a contender for the real deal!

And in this fantasy world we should all also provide Meyers with the love and support necessary to become a better defender than the average tree stump. It is only our lack of encouragement that is holding him back from achieving greatness.

No. BNM, that is not what I meant. With encouragement each player has a better chance to have the confidence and "find the rhythm" that means the best performance. Meyers has improved on defense and Zach has improved on offense, and I think that they are helping each other.

What I hope for is the support from Blazer fans that brings out the best in each player. Not rooting for the Blazers seems to me to do them harm. With the potential for great success this year, now is the time to be positive.

Meyers brings nothing to root for.

When you take into account that the clock's about to expire, I'd put this up there with any of Nowitzki's best.

At least we're keeping things in perspective.

I often wondered why he was so under-appreciated in college, again at draft time, and still this year up until January. It's great for us, because there's no way a player of Zach's talent should have been available for what we gave up.

But that got me thinking, other than being white and from Gonzaga, what is it about him that makes him so under-valued? The last couple pages of this thread made me realize, it's his boring name! It's not overly recognizable/remember-able, nor is it well suited to nicknames.

New draft strategy going forward: identify nickname-resistant white players from smaller schools.

We support Zach because he shows us something out there on the court.
