    Aldridge played with several teammates this summer in Austin, and gave insight on one Blazers player to keep an eye on: G Elliot Williams.

    Aldridge on Williams: "He has swag. He has like Michael Jordan swag. I didn't think he had that in him. It was pretty interesting ...''

    More L.A. on Williams: "Every time he scored he would give you this look like, 'You trash.' ... I like the confidence.''

    I liked Eliott coming out of college. It was too bad that he had the injury. He'll get minutes just for his defensive ability.

    I watched Williams' exhibition game in Memphis this summer, and the dude looked very good. Had like 40 or 50pts, and there was actually SOME defense being played, but I don't think the competition was very legit.

    Great slasher and rebounder. Reminded me exactly of Westbrook. But he has a far better handle than EWill.

    Aldridge compared Williams to Rudy Gay & Travis Outlaw b/c he is always able to get shot off. "He's like Travis Outlaw but more skilled.''


    LOL ouch

    Now if he can just make that shot he can get off over anyone we might have something

    Williams took Nolan Smith's starting position away from him for a while at Duke.

    All joking aside, it is crucial for the bench to have that sort of player. It's why getting rid of Bayless was such a boner, IMO, and why I wouldn't mind Roy staying for a year. If Williams has that type of offensive ability, and can play some defense, it would somewhat dampen my outrage when Roy gets released in a few hours.

    Should be an upgrade over Rudy then if the hype is justified

    I really don't see how some people think this roster is worse than last year. Exactly what did the Blazers lose? Patty Mills and Rudy? Joel Przybill started like 10 game at one point for crying out loud because Camby was injured. I don't get it. I even think Cunningham started some games.

    I'm going to go ahead and say Nolan and Elliot will be better than Patty and Rudy.

    Travis had an unstoppable shot as well....he was 6'9 with a 40" vert.

    Elliot is 6'6 with a pre-combine 48" vert, that people say he bettered in camp last year. He hit the "Dwight Howard sticker" mark jumping off of two feet.

    I mean Andre Miller is gone, but his fit with the team was always questionable

    Roy's presence doesn't help his career ... never has, never will.

    I agree. I would like 38 mpg.

    He tired out in the playoffs last season. Of course, it hurt that Dallas had a freakin platoon of bigs to throw at him.
