Blazers should hold a press conference, announce all the summer league signings as if they were major free agent signings, have Dame say how eager he is to play with them, have Stotts say they'll be great additions to the team, Olshey talk about the art of the deal and how they were never sure until the last minute that we'd get them signed, etc. barfo
Really liked him last year coming into the Draft. He could develop into a solid bench contributor I think.
Weren't we linked with Christian Wood at some point last year? He got 20 points in 15 mins! Real star for Boston was Terry Rozier: 18 points, 5 assists, 6 points in 26 mins. They're stacked with tough little guards.
Wasn't Kyle Anderson MVP last year? At any rate, he's on the way to back-to-back (the Steph Curry of Summer League) with 25 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals in 26 minutes in a blowout win.
Bachynski could surprise a bit. This is Vonleh, Montero and Connaughton's time to step up and see how they have progressed.

Hm. this Bachy dude has some good stats and highlights. Considering people are talking up Dewayne Dedmon (who?), this guy can't be much worse. 7'2, 250? Why the hell not
