    I would give a first round pick for Jerami Grant. That guy fits well with the Blazers

    Brown will probably be on the Hoard plan this year and get a two way. He’s worth developing.

    Me too. I think he'll probably be more valuable than Skal by the end of the season, needs a lot of work though.

    Nah, I like Skal, in fact if thats all Tollivers got left, Skal should get a lot of the back up PF minutes.

    Skal is better than Tolliver but I don’t like him at center. I love him with another big though.

    I didn’t know Nassir had a handle like that tbh. It’s preseason but I don’t remember either Harkless or Aminu pulling a move like that off, like ever. He won’t be in the rotation but Stotts will give him a shot at some point while he tinkers with lineups.

    Expanding on Brown, you can’t teach size and he seems fairly mobile. The weight will come with time. We only have one center under contract next year. Stotts talking him up to the ESPN crew is noteworthy imo. Olshey mentioned some standouts among the training camp invites. Pretty sure he was talking about Brown now.

    The players the stood out to me was Mario and Skals. Zach play pretty good defense and look good with the 1st unit. Had little trouble securing the ball with 4 turnovers. He needs to slow down with his moves his main problem.

    The two times I’ve watched brown he has done some good things! Definitely worth the second 2 way if he keeps it up. Low risk for potentially high rewards.

    The truth is, Trent is complete and utter garbage. I don't know why some people keep clinging to the idea that he will become a productive NBA player. If he didn't have a famous name and came to the Blazers as a camp invite, there is nobody in the world that would think he is an NBA caliber player.

    Kind of a sloppy first game, as was expected. I do like what Mario brings to the court though. Plays a bit like Ben Simmons. Not to the same level, obviously, but plays in a similar fashion. He'll have his turnovers and bad shooting nights for sure, but I'm already soooooo glad I get to watch him as a point forward instead of ET. For real.
