    John Jenkins and Archie Goodwin...I'm intrigued with what I see from them

    BREAK
    LOL: "I liked Portland's style of play, I look at what they do with CJ, Pat Connaughton, Allen Crabbe..."

    is that the first time anyone's had those 3 as "similar" players? :)

    Great finish. John Jenkins was lights out. He's shot well all SL. Could he be a darkhorse? Sure can drill the open shot.

    He came out of college as a guy with great range, but it just didn't work out in ATL.

    Zach looks like he should be playing the 4 spot for the Blazers.

    I like that Baldwin kid. Nice work at the PG with an A/M of 1.66!

    The key of the game was the 4th QT defense. Jenkins can flat out shoot the ball. Collins his best performance both ways. Baldwin solid again and layman shot wasn't falling but got some buckets late in the game. Trent and Simons hit some key shots. Trent continue to fill the stat sheet and Simons two big 3 in the 4th and good decision making at the end.

    John Jenkins may have earned himself a spot on a team.
    Maybe he could be the 3 & D guy we need?

    We haven't seen what Stauskas can do with the real team, so I will hold back comment. That being said, a dead eye shooter like Jenkins could help this team. You can't have enough.

    Maybe a rebuildin team with cap space would take on biggie or layman. I wouldn’t care what we got in return.

    Agree on Zack. He has bigtime PF potential.

    I disagree. He's been lights out all SL, and is still a developing talent. I think Caleb is the one who needs to really step it up. Great rebounder, but looking like a liability on offense.
