    Good to see Ellebe’s airball streak continues into this game…

    He's a second round pick....why so much hate? You're acting like we drafted him with the number 1 pick lol.

    Funny hearing Pete Pranica calling a Blazers game again.

    Can Faried helps this team at 32 years young?

    I don't hate Elleby, but air-balling a majority of your attempts is not standard for a 2nd round pick.

    Also, because we either trade away our 1st round pick or haven't drafted a starting caliber 1st round pick since 2014, selecting impact 2nd round picks is very important, no?

    It’s not hate as much as it is the expectation that’s he’s a professional in basketball and airballed jumpers and floaters x7 is inexcusable. If you did that in rec league you’d be booted off the court!

    I mean obviously it'd be nice to hit on a second round pick but we've had a pretty good track record with second round picks developing into a serviceable NBA player with NO. You can't hit on all of them and CJ unfortunately looks like a miss but again it's just his second year.

    Brown is going to develop into a decent forward.

    We turned GTJ into Powell, which is very nice.

    Outside of that, what 2nd round draft pick is/was used to provided us a meaningful assest on today's roster or was a consistent role player? I'm not sure our 2nd round draft pick success is better than average. I'm near certian our 1st round pick success in the last 8+ years is well below average.

    Blakeney is a better player than Eleby

    Great day so far. Saw @THE HCP at the airport.

    Landed in Vegas at 1:30, and made it in time for the 3:00 Blazers game. Man, I’ve missed these nachos!

    His stats don't jump off the page, but he's the only guy I've watched in these three games where I think what he's doing here can actually translate into an actual NBA game.

    Why should there be an age limit? Mudiay, Faried, and Beasley are trying to show the NBA scouts, and foreign teams that they can still play.

    Greg Brown's jumpshot is so fluid and he shoots it with confidence. Even his misses are close. No doubt he can develop that shot in his career.
