    FYI: Victor Claver had 13 pts on 4-of-8 shooting, 3-of-5 from 3-pt range, 4 rebs, 3 ast in 20 mins of play in a win over Argentina. #Blazers

    Nice game against a solid team. Hopefully he can surprise us.

    The Blazers need to finally get a hit on one of these draft-and-stash guys. The money aside used to "buy" them, the depth of talent is so shallow on the roster right now, he or Freeland really need to be able to make an impact ... especially with Babbitt looking like he hasn't made many strides entering year 3.

    Interesting because I always thought it was the other way around. Regardless, we'll see. We'll also see if either of them is "good enough."

    He is supposed to be strong at defense according to Olshey, so I'm guessing he does okay.

    Claver is > Freeland in the sense that Oden is > Noah. You just have to forget health and actual productivity and focus on the fact that at 16 yo Claver was viewed as the brighter prospect.

    I'd be happy if those were his season averages with us!

    I'm watching Argentina right now and they have the offense I want for this team.

    Constant motion, cutters, unselfishness.

    Prigioni will be the starting PG over Felton.

    Mark it down.

    ... And he also had a not so great game and a shitty game against Argentina. What's not to get?

    Tonight we might get to see him vs USA. Hopefully he plays some solid minutes. This will be a good "speed test"
