I think a lot around here have forgotten. I think he can really help us next season. When he got run, he was instant offense. Has a lot to work on, but I really hope he comes back healthy. Too bad he won't be able to play in Vegas this summer.
I like him OK, but we've seen so little. It makes it pretty difficult to A. project just what he can do as a regular contributor and B. project if he can even stay healthy enough to find out.
Williams is the reason I dont' want to draft Beal. Dunno if he can stay healthy but the impressed with little minutes. Don't forget that the blazers raved about his work ethic this summer and LA said he was one of the most driven players he had ever worked out with.
Thats the big question because he had injuries in college and now in the NBA. He has a great work ethic and drive so I would like to see what we have in him but we could be headed for an Eric Gordan type player who misses 1/3rd of the games every year.
Man Gordon showed he is just fine the last week of the season huh? He will get paid this summer..... wonder why more people aren't talking about him?
I have posted before that I watched quite a few of his games live last year and came away a believer. He is an all star IMO. He is no Ben Gordon. I am no doctor so I do not know about the effects from his injuries, but behind DWill he is my #1 FA choice. He can flat out shoot and would take pressure off LMA and Batum.
He has missed on avg 66 games every year. He is damn good but a huge health risk and still needs to prove he can defend not just gamble and go for steals.
I think Gordon is so good on the offensive end, I would put up with his weak D. Not too many guys out there dominating on both ends.
His first 3 years he missed 4, 20, 26 games. Not great but nothing that will have lasting effects. ( not sure about this year's injruy) He is 23 years old. He can play D. He just usually waits until the end of games like most players. He is short but strong for his position. He can get off the floor . I have seen some awesome dunks. But the main thing is he can shoot from anywhere.
Eric Gordon is an injury waiting to happen. Perfect fit for the Blazers, and I expect them to go after him hard
And here is the scary thing about Gordon ... he could potentially have injuries ... with OUR training staff. If that isnt scary then I dont know what is! I really do like his game but Im not sure how much more injuries I can take.
I thin kthe Blazers would be best served not bring in FA's, draft picks or trading for guys with injury history or high potential for injury
Good thing Derick Rose is not a free agent. We would have to tell him sorry dude. Better pass on Dwill too. He is starting to break down. We need to give all our money to Andre Miller.
If you feel the need to be a smart ass then fine, but how has it worked out for us so far? Rose and DWill have won what again?
