    So, solving the equation, we find that Meyers = 2 * LMA.

    I read somewhere that Harkless is shooting 60% from three in 5-on-5 play. Need video!

    Close, but not exactly. He equals LMA + LMA, which means 'M'eyers puts the extra 'm' in Llama.

    Sly, you started this thread. Who cares whether almost every player under contract is black in Portland. Rise above the gutter.

    The dog days have been long this year but these pics made me realize that this roster is so far away from being set.

    Plumlee and Kaman are the only true centers on the roster.

    So many PF's:

    Meyers Leonard
    Noah Vonleh
    Ed Davis
    Cliff Alexander
    Al-Farouq Aminu - Played his best ball last year at PF.

    Davis and Aminu will garner the minutes.

    Cliff Alexander is Thomas Robinson minus two years and an inch or two.

    I'm excited to see what Cliff Alexander can do.

    For one being a top 5 pick, and the other going undrafted, there are certainly a lot of physical and statistical similarities between theses two player.

    Thomas Robinson, freshman year (2009-10) per 40 min (Kansas):
    - Height w/o shoes: 6'7.75"
    - Weight: 237 lbs
    - Wingspan: 7'3.25"
    - Standing Reach: 8'10"
    - Body Fat: 5.0%
    - 14.1 pts
    - 14.9 reb (*)
    - 3.1 blocks (*)
    - 48.5% fg
    - 4.4 turnovers
    - 7.3 fouls
    - PER: 16.2

    Cliff Alexander, freshman year (2014-15) per 40 min (Kansas):
    - Height w/o shoes: 6'7.25"
    - Weight: 240 lbs
    - Wingspan: 7'3.5"
    - Standing Reach: 9"1.5"
    - Body Fat: 5.8%
    - 16.2 pts (*)
    - 12.0 reb
    - 3.0 blocks
    - 56.6% fg (*)
    - 2.3 turnovers (*)
    - 4.6 fouls (*)
    - PER: 23.2 (*)

    Not to mention that Alexander only had an underutilized freshman year, whereas Robinson had three years at Kansas. Alexander was lucky to get away from Bill Self so soon. I can't wait to see him develop.

    Alexander: 9'2" reach
    Robinson: 8'10" reach

    That's a huge difference.

    Didn't you notice how LA would jack up those terrible shots, with plenty of time left on the clock? It's like he just wanted to make sure he got enough shots.

    Meyers Leonard has put on 50 pounds of muscle, but can still dunk from the FT line.

    Yep. As everyone who memorizes my posts will recall, I am no fan of Bill Self.

    I don't know about the bill part but you've always been self-loathing.

    So, in reality, he put on like... 5 pounds.
