Wenyen Gabriel

[Scalma]

Easy to root for. Hopefully he gets a chance.

 

[perkinsfor3]

I like his fit.

 

[oldmangrouch]

I just wish he was a legit prospect.

Do not fret. He once “was” a legit prospect as you wish.

But he is no longer a legit prospect.

 

[Scalma]

Olshey loves his elite high school recruits.

 

[Scalma]

Listen, Evan Turner walked so Wenyen Gabriel could run.

 

[James lamphear]

He fits with Stotts offense he can hit the 3 and especially the corner 3. He got good handles he also can take guy off the dribble. Big key he is a good rebounder from PF position. I feel he might be the key of this trade.

no need to talk about bedroom talk, but thanks for sharing.

You means he's ALMOST AS GOOD AS TJ LEAF!?!?

Whiteside and 2 #1s for TJ Leafmold and $24 million in bad contracts!

 

[BonesJones]

This guy is intriguing.
6'9.25 in shoes
7'1 wingspan
9'1 standing reach
Good shooting stroke
Athleticism
Ball handling ability

I mean, this guy looks like a far more complete and versatile player than any of our forwards. I could see him coming in and outplaying Little and Hezonja.

Also, giving his size, he's probably more suited to play C then Swanigan (god I can't believe Swanigan is a Blazer again).

Just like any trade someone majority get thrown in to make the trade go through.

I don't think you needed the green on that one......

Can they waive Caleb? He's at 2 million and the last year of the contract. Kind of doubt he will be in the league at all next year?

Id be surprised if he was still here after the deadline. If he is and the blazers need a spot, he’d be first to go imo.

Neil drafted him in the first round, never developed him, dumped him, traded good players to get him back...

 

[Cugel]

caleb can foul

 

[tlongII]

Caleb can eat.

Wouldnt make sense to cut him now unless they needed the roster spot, but yeah, let him walk after this year. He's not an NBA player.

What good players did he trade?

Baze isn't good & neither is AT

 

[GDiama]

It's amazing how desperate we are thinking now that this trade could be for the hidden gem/perfect fit Wenyen Gabriel. Let's hope for once it works.

Skal didn’t work?

 

[GDiama]

We don't have the starting unit problem solved to just focus on the bench and development. No I don't think Skal has worked yet, there are just some promising signs but there is a long way ahead of him.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Skal didn’t work?

You're kidding.

 

[Scalma]

You're kidding.

Nope, and the numbers back it up. His BPM ranks ahead of everyone except Dame and Whiteside, all while playing out of position.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Is Wenyen Gabriel the savior we all hope he is?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

At least keep Caleb until after he gets us another SL championship

 

[kjironman1]

Ummmm No.

 

[handiman]

He's not white, American-born, or a center. You should be ecstatic.

 

[James lamphear]

Gabriel might be the steal of the trade.
