    Trent is a great, great complimentary piece. I don’t ever see star potential, but he could be a sixth man of the year type.

    Love having a guy like him though. He’s a dog

    Seems more like a McCollum problem

    We have decent individual defenders in a system with no team defense concept.

    Rather see him start and upgrade another position using CJ

    We have long needed guys who get under players skin. Especially ones that are super confident and are knockdown shooters. He's only 21. With his reported work ethic, think his ceiling is higher

    Zach has got to step his game up on the defensive end. Whiteside is missed today. Great 1st half except they got to many good looks at the basket. Go Blazers!!

    I’ll eat my crow on Trent, was totally wrong. I think he does make CJ expendable, hopefully NO and Dame realize that.

    If Ariza was around we would really be 8 deep for a nice run imo.

    Pre-injury Wes Matthews is a good ceiling for Trent imo.

    Is it me, or do the opponents always hit their wide open 3 pointers against the Blazers?

    These small defensive breakdowns are killing us.

    I’m really annoyed by the 3-4 foot buffer we give shooters on the perimeter...

    Terry needs to stay with this trap on george. It's working, even if shamet hits some open threes.

    It looks like Zach playing against there point the rotating out which guard is shooting.

    We don’t have to choose. Best to have Trent AND CJ.

    I said danny green earlier. But think Trent might be better than both.
