    It might be time to panic about Collins, though. Unless he was eating popcorn right up till the start of the game and still had butter all over his hands.

    Yup. If he can reasonably defend, he can carve out a longish career as a bench shooter.

    I was certain before but now even more so... Curry needs to play every single backup guard minute, and to do that CJ will have to play with the 2nd unit like he has in years past.

    Nah man. People are just hoping he becomes a reliable player and doesn't go the way of Vonleh.

    Not in my book. I was there last year though. People were calling him the next Zach Randolph and i was a real hater when i questioned it.
    He has some major flaws that not many people can get around.

    Seriously, great game by the Blazers. Our starters destroyed their starters.

    Biggie doesnt look good on either end of the court, hopefully Neil didn’t have him in mind as Ed’s replacement lol! Too bad Meyers ain’t much better. Thankfully we have..oh wait nevermind were fucked. Neil better be looking at the waiver wire for bigs, even if it’s two way guys.

    Baldwin looks like he’s forcing things offensively but at least he puts in a shift on defense. He’s not going to be in the rotation though.

    Stauskas looked good again. I don’t like him in that Connaughton role where he’s playing with dame and CJ and just standing in the corner. That’s what Sacramento tried to box him in as. He needs the ball in his hands. I like him with Curry on the second unit.

    Simons plays stronger than he looks.

    Layman was poop.

    I felt bad for Zach in this one. He thrives when he can guard some pnr and play off good offensive players.

    Playing with Wade, Layman, Biggie and Meyers gives him little chance to succeed on either end.

    Heres the thing, that line up wont ever play together when it matters. They’re just getting run, I would put 0 stock in trying evaluate how any of them did whether it looks bad or good. Its similar to summer League most of those guys are being sent out to work on specific things, with players they dont have any chemistry with yet.

    Why....? He's 20. He's still growing into his body. He played great defense all game long, and had a couple awful calls.agaimst him. He's better on offense when hes plowing in a offense that has rythym and flow... He didn't force and shot 2-3
