    Correct.
    No reason Swanigan can't be a non- dumbass Zbo.

    I think Swanigan will be ok defensively as long as he doesn’t get switched on the perimeter. He’s not as tall as you’d like but his length is fine. More importantly he’s smart and works hard. That can make up for athletic deficiencies.

    That being said, he still has to keep his weight in check. He can’t fluctuate like he has since being drafted. I also have questions about his ability (or inability) to get his shot off in the post.

    But for the next week or so I’d like to see him play rotational minutes and see how he’s progressed. He’s not going to be the difference between us winning and losing games.

    I want a big enough lead that we can see some of this. He was going against Stephan Adams a good portion of the time and not only does he show the hook from various range, he steps out for a 20'er that hits nothing but the bottom of the net.

    I think he’ll fit well in Terry’s system, on both ends. Offensively he’s good in the pick and roll and his FT shooting suggests his jumper will be a legit weapon as well. Defensively we usually keep our centers from switching so he’ll be protected and allowed to focus on his strength; clogging the paint. YouTube has a full game from Eurobasket (Greece vs Slovenia) where he controls the paint against a team that featured Doncic and Dragic.

    Turner is too short and too light to be playing power forward.

    You can get a Blazer shirt at the Blazers' store. Just sign up (it's free to join), login and purchase whatever you want with your credit card.

    There's no such thing as time to a true Blazer fan.

    I don't think he'll be able to work around that. It's a tough tongue to work around. I just don't want him playing meaningful minutes.

    I don't want him to miss the game.
    Also don't worry, I'll be up and watching a stream at 3:00 am.
