    All the players from last season look the same, except Keon Johnson looks like he's got an attitude in a good way.

    Thank you! But let’s not jump to conclusions. But so far, he’s a shy and scary kid

    Walker's got great size and feel to go along with decent athleticism. Plus can shoot. In a league looking for players with his type of body, why did he almost go undrafted?

    Blazers need Walkers shooting to finish this game. Too many brickers out there. Do like Johnson's improvement. Nice.

    That's crazy. I don't watch much college ball, but as soon as we drafted him and I heard he led the Pac-12 in rebounding I knew we had a steal at that draft position. That's a skill that almost always translates.

    Johnson, Brown and Watford all look like they are working hard to improve.
    Nice to see.

    Our summer league team looks more connected defensively than our regular season team last year before the trades....

    I like Keon. He's got some spunk defensively.

    Louzada went 27 minutes without scoring a point. I think even Blevgod could have scored one point.

    First half was ugly basketball, but the second half was somewhat enjoyable... more enjoyable than last March/April.
