    Thanks, those helped me. He appears to have a low motor, but that may be because he moves effortlessly, silky. He is assigned the opponent's best player on defense. His stats per minute are too low. He makes his 3s before the game, but not in the game. He may have a case of Batumitis, but without the assists.

    His shooting form kind of shocked me

    He's a black kid from NYC but shoots like a white guy from Wisconsin(without the makes).

    unlike the first for Afflalo, I have a good feeling that Moe will contribute more to the team than the 2019 version of Danny Diaz or Taurean "4 wins" Green

    Afflalo's reputation was made in Orlando, too. Stats there translate into Blazer stats like pesos to dollars.

    No, many of us are basing it on the fact he went from the rotation to the dawg-house because of a questionable work ethic.

    But again, not from actually watching him play. The questionable work ethic is one of several theories why he lost his minutes.

    The Blazers really needed a SF and perimeter defender. Harkless' defensive stats look outstanding on the perimeter and really poor inside. But he gets steals, which is something the Blazers need.

    I hope so. Running starts with defense and rebounding. I hope the team makes a concerted effort to do all three, and runs some pick and roll to the basket in the half court.

    Moe got minutes early in his career because...our man Hedo was always injured. Small world.

    Will Harkless become another Batum, both the good and the bad?

    We already got Aminu for the small 4 spot and no one will want Harkless in a trade unless we'll give him a lot of minutes to inflate his numbers.
    I just feel he is a waste of time (like Davis and Aminu btw).

    You realize you have two Fraziers and zero Cavemen, right?

    I like the transaction on the face of it. However, I don't think Harkless plays in front of Crabbe for the backup 3, and certainly not in front of Aminu for the starting 3. The 2 and 4 positions are loaded, so I don't see any of those 3 sliding into the 2 or 4 spot for any minutes at all. So, I don't like the move from a chemistry POV I don't think the "get a bunch of assets at random positions" is the right way to go. Players need minutes to develop or they will languish.

    I love it, Harkless and Crabbe battle as they both are in final years where they need to start really showing something, apparently both working hard in offseason and if they are motivated now they will never be. This is what this year is about - giving guys significant chances and see what they do with it

    I love these little moves that Neil does. Reminds me of the Rolo move.
