    True, Little theoretically has a higher ceiling. But does it matter if all either of them amounts to is a bottom of the roster player?

    It is akward because he is used to teammates throwing him lobs when he is wide open. So far through Game #10....he has 2.

    I'm not sure why you're so pessimistic about Little. It seems undeserved.

    I still think Trent can be good. So far Littles D has been promising.

    Because I've seen more players like him than I can count that amount to nothing.

    He's like mini Dame out there. They wiffed on Luka, but Trae is no slouch. Just not finishing at the hoop, but he's only 20.

    The timing and the way he runs the P&R is very Dame esque

    Somebody isn’t being defended in that case. Blazers are terrible at making other teams pay for that.

    Defense is much better tonight...CJ is warming up..Tolliver played some solid defense..Baze made a few buckets...looks way better than last game..offense is still choppy

    Baze had a great first half. There is only so much a guy can do against Trae I guess. He is due to go off in the second half.

    And usually not hard to make the Blazers take an overly difficult shot. Blazers ran good offense for a burst then went back to the usual.

    I have no idea how I feel about that half of basketball. I think it is something like this though...

    He reminded me of Trent when he took that 3.

    I've seen many players who are from mid-major schools who amounted to nothing. should've skipped Damian and CJ.
