    More of these veteran afflictions. Makes me miss Dre.

    Hasn't LA been taking shots at JJ for a while now?

    I'm definitely on the Robinson bandwagon. I think there's very real promise that he could end up being my second-favorite player, with an outside shot at my favorite.
    The comp I was thinking of (if everything goes right for him) is a more beastly Millsap. However, then I saw this...
    and think that could be a decent comp, too. The Sonics-era Kemp. And a less beastly version.
    But even topping out at Millsap would be pretty damn awesome.

    I wonder if he did not appreciate JJ comments about being surprised that LMA was still a Blazer.
    Can't remember the exact quote from JJ.

    I meant franchise. It was the Kings, same as Robinson.

    Video: "Sights and sounds from training camp"

    It seems to me that Robinson's problem is (like Leonard) that he gets the ball and then has to think about what he's going to do. He's not instinctive. So the ball just stops in his hands. He's going to get stripped by guards a lot.

    What exactly are you basing this on? From this video and the youtube video a few posts up, the dude is dominating.

    Another related thing I noticed in the video highlights is he appears to leave his feet too early. I imagine that has something to do with him getting roofed way more than you would expect from someone with his length, strength, and leaping ability.

    In both cases, he needs to hone the fundamentals and not rely on athletic prowess.

    @blazerbanter: Crabbe shows good defensive instincts stealing a pass and going coast to coast for a bucket plus the foul.

    @BlazerFreeman: There is no sign of rookie guard CJ McCollum. Will update when coach Terry Stotts talks.

    @BlazerFreeman: Mo Williams went down during a scrimmage and appeared to tweak his right ankle. He's shaking it off on the sideline.
