    Harrell is actually pretty shitty. He's Manimal II. Half the reason Doc got canned is because he insisted on playing Harrell when Zubac had much better advanced stats.

    Two years ago he shot 31%. Last year 28%. Again. He’s not here to bomb threes.

    Agreed. A real floor general would help that.

    Oh, how I long for the days of Eric Maynor...

    So Derrick Jones Jr. is going to be our Harkless Mk. II, just as RoCo is Aminu II? Okay.

    I hope Stotts won't make him shoot threes the way he made Evan Turner shoot them.

    Wow. So if he gets really good this year we lose him. If he can't improve his three, we have to keep him another year.

    RoCo is way better than Aminu. And Gary Trent is going to play A LOT.

    PS if Derrick Jones, at his age, his athleticism, his defense, shot just 7% better from 3....he wouldn’t be a Portland Trailblazer. He’d be making $25m a year somewhere else, like Miami.

    Terrible, Terrible signing. I was ready to give NO huge probs but i knew he can stil fuck things up. This dude shot 22% from 3, for how many years now we have seen in the Playoffs that at least one of our wings was not guarded and that killed us. Sigh

    Yeah. He said on numerous occasions how the coaching staff wanted to see him put them up if he was open.

    You don't remember?

    DJJ is not a bad Player, but a really bad fit in Terry Stotts Offense.

    Seems like they are just trying to replicate the 18-19 team.

    Trent = Curry
    DJJ = Harkless
    RoCo = Aminu

    I think in a vacuum, every dude on the left is slightly better than the one on the right.

    Man the way Trent has been improving, I could see him adding a lot of shots to his arsenal and being far better than Seth, especially considering Trent being able to play defense against guys 1-3. I do like what we have on this roster.
