nice story, here's another article http://www.deseretnews.com/article/...avion-Berry-thrive-at-Weber-State.html?pg=all
By the way Davion Berry IS on the Blazers Summer League roster http://ripcityproject.com/2014/06/28/davion-berry-trail-blazers-summer-league-profile/
I do not believe in a coincidence this big. Of course he's on the summer league team because of Damian. And it most likely works both ways. He got invited because of Dame. He wants to be with the Blazers because of Dame. It will be funny if he makes the roster and ends up being Dame's 'rookie'.
If this description is accurate, I am not too excited unless they plan on trading some of our young SG's: "Berry reminds me a bit of a young Wesley Matthews. He plays above average defense, has below average handles, and is an exceptional three-point shooter"

He might not be the next Bruce Bowen, but he might be worth a spot on the bench when some perimeter D is needed.
If he plays point in summer league that makes him that much more interesting to watch. He could potentially replace Watson as the third PG. Not really worried about the whole "2 roster spots left" thing because I'm expecting a trade or two in the coming weeks. We got too many young guys and not enough minutes or time to develop all of them.
Pretty much. Though, I will say that Berry's advanced stats are pretty impressive. With the Blazers giving up their affiliation with the Stampede, will they still send their rooks there?
Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes Idaho Stampede F/C Dallas Lauderdale is dealing with a severe high ankle sprain and has pulled off #Blazers Summer League roster, I'm told.
