    Eh easier to gameplan against a starter. Plus it's a Portland young big. They start the game with 5 fouls.
    Let him come off the bench.

    That was a great drive and pass by Gabriel. Under control.

    But @kjironman1 told me Swanigan had to play PF against Dallas even though we got torched because Little and Gabriel aren't capable defenders.

    Wenyen competing against the best big in the game when I think his best fit is small forward god bless Vlade Divac.

    I look at the box score and Wenyen is 0/1/1.

    That's awesome we're all gushing for him despite him having a no-fer statline. His skills should translate. Even if we lose this game we (hopefully) gained a rotation player.

    Yes. The crazy fade-away going out of bounds 3 over Roy is what I’ll remember from that. Crushing.

    I'm getting this vibe from Wenyen that I really like. Dude looks like he "gets it". I don't know how else to explain it, he just seems comfortable and has made reads with a level of quickness that I didn't really expect. Also looks like he has solid defensive instincts to go along with his physical tools.
