    Don't take this as combative, but why?

    Hard worker, good shooter, good basketball IQ, teammates seem to like him, awesome cheerleader....seems like the perfect 15th man

    My answer would be that the 11-15 spots should generally be filled by either minimum salary vets providing experience/leadership/mentoring to younger players, or project players who look like they can develop into rotation players in the future. Pat is clearly not the first, and arguably doesn't have the ceiling of the second. That part's up for debate, obviously, but for those who have already made up their mind about him not having any more future in this league than what he's already done in his first two years, it's understandable that they would view him as not even worth the 15th spot.

    You listed one basketball skill, and it's still a debatable one because of the sample size. I just don't see enough talent or upside worth developing.

    I didn't think it sounded promising the first time he talked about it either. Not nearly as encouraging as some of the tweets made it sound.

    No reason Pat couldn't provide us with Turner's 2016/2017 production...at a small fraction of the cost.

    If they are so excited about having a spot up jump shooter at the wing, may as well just play Allen Crabbe.

    Players must really hate Portland if they're willing to go to Minnesota and Okie town over here.

    I honestly think Olshey wants to start the season with a 14 man roster ...come trade deadline, it'll be useful and in the meantime will clear 4mill from the books

    Dame sounds like he's tired, hasn't had a cup of coffee yet....all that offseason drinking like a fish I'd guess
