    Looks like the Blazers are calling up a D-leaguer after all.

    So...a PF?

    I can live with that, I guess, but I would have much rather signed a SF or a C.

    Hmm a 6-9 guy who averaged 20 and 10 and can shoot the 3. Sounds intriguing. I wonder if he'll see any action, but it's nice to have another healthy body out there to use.

    I think he's kind of a combo forward. Whatever he is, he apparently can hit three pointers at a 41% clip (will that carry over with better defenders in his face is tough to say). My guess is Pendergraph will be back in a couple of weeks to backup Joel and because he wasn't injured during the regular season they won't have to dump the new guy if/when he comes back.

    I'm sorry but this made me laugh. Do you follow the Stampede or something, or were you a big Chreighton fan?

    I follow almost all the d1 teams...I consider myself a guru of both college basketball and college football. But I'm glad you got a laugh out of it...

    I always liked his game, ever since I read this thread. Until I got to this part:

    Now I'm not so sure.

    I remember him on that Creighton team from a couple years ago when they had Nate Funk bombing treys next to him and they ended up getting a fairly decent seed in the tournament. Tolliver was a great outside shooter in college as well. Thats all that team did was sink 3's.

    I posted that in a different thread, but most of the discussion was around Dwayne Jones on that list.

    We need a banger. This guy looks like one. Aldridge needs help in a big way. He is having to drift from PF to C for most the game. Someone needs to give young player like minutes at PF until Outlaw comes back.
