    I'm guessing his agent didn't allow him to workout for Portland cuz we didn't have a pick in the second.

    I love the fact that the picture they chose for his Wiki page is a picture of him in the background of two other guys the camera is focused on.

    Pat said he's been told that his comp is Kyle Korver - compares himself to Wes Matthews.

    But wes is black. He can only compare himself to another white guy that's the rule.

    But yah that's not a bad comp. wes isn't known for his lateral quickness either.

    Funny you say that. Didn't think about that until now, but it's not a stretch by any means.

    My dad and I were just talking about the early-90's and players that we hated cuz they weren't on our team. Majerle was one we brought up. We couldn't think of anyone like him since his time. If PC became anything like him, I could see him easily becoming many fan's favorite player.

    But I'm not holding my breath.

    Skillset-wiss, this is CJ.

    Physically alone makes Pat a different kind of prospect. Matt Harpring is closer IMO.

    Reading this, and understanding players on the roster and that we've been discussing, we're apparently going to run the PnR next year more than anyone else?

    This guys is more athletic than Hornacek. Still figuring out what CJ's athleticism. This guy has hops. Pretty fly for a white guy.

    Only if LA re-signs. We'll only know if it's really Wally if he has a bitch of a PF to feud with.

    @Fletch_Johnson: UND coach Mike Brey just told me that new Blazer Pat Connaughton’s biggest strength is bball IQ; can’t be multiple dribble guy tho #RipCity

    @Fletch_Johnson: Also said Connaughton is “both feet in on basketball." Orioles had been trying to pay him to leave for baseball over last two months

    @Fletch_Johnson: Brey also compared Connaughton to Wesley Matthews in terms of work ethic, shooting, IQ, and desire #RipCity

    Which button should Stotts push?

    Why did his agent "not let him go to a Blazers tryout"? A possible explanation.
