    I watched the second half. Didn’t learn anything new. Swanigan is not an nba player. He had 6 points in nearly 30 minutes, two of them in garbage time.

    Baldwin looked better, started at small forward, 24 points in 28 minutes, 9-19 shooting, 2-4 from outside, 7 boards and only two turnovers. He at least has a chance to stick in the league imo.

    Sad that we picked him one spot ahead of Kuzma :(

    Drafting him was one thing, but picking up his option for next year was insane. One of two things are true imo; either Olshey genuinely believes in Biggie, or his ego wouldn’t allow him to admit a mistake. I honestly don’t know which one is worse. I was someone that liked Biggie out of college but it didn’t take me long to realize after watching him in the g league last year, against journeymen, that he didn’t really have a chance, and that I was wrong. It’s not a big deal to admit that, but if Olshey genuinely believes Swanigan is going to make it...FUCK.

    Speaking of g league

    Cam Oliver so far this season:

    20 games
    27 MPG
    16.3 PPG
    9 RPG
    1.8 APG
    1.2 SPG
    2.2 BPG
    59% FG
    76% FT

    Sign his ass to a two way already.

    Another guy that deserves another chance is Anthony Bennett. He doesn’t qualify for a two way but should be in the league imo. He’s been a lights out shooter the last two years (shooting 47% on 5 attempts a game this season) in the g league and does a little bit of everything and is still only 25.

    If the Blazers made a trade that cleared a roster spot Id be interested in seeing if Bennett could play.

    Yeah or just keep him in mind for the summer. He deserves a training camp invite at the very least.

    Cam Oliver is athletic, but he's pretty dumb, inconsistent motor and can't shoot.

    Also Baldwin is -16. So far this stint in the "G-League" can't be doing their confidence much good

    Kuzma is better than Biggie, but Kuzma’s kind of overrated to me. He’s Gerald green. Nice scorer than can go off once in a while, shoots you out of a lot of games too. I think we would hardly notice him if he wasnt in LA.
