    it’s funny because Brown was considered a first rounder for the majority of the year, and was even talked about in the lottery when he committed to Texas. The depth of this class hurt him, same with Brandon Boston and some other guys that fell to the second.

    There are plenty of second-rounders who look really good already. The Villanova kid, Robinson-Earl; Herbert Jones; Neemias Queta; Luka Garza; Fez's favorite, Sharife Cooper, and even some undrafted, like McKinley Wright. A lot of good point guards, so of course we didn't go after any of them.

    We have 37 players 6’3” or under. We need size. It’s poor roster construction

    Oh boy, looks like a fight is brewing between the Uber driver and the lawnmower driver.

    Better lay in a supply of popcorn.

    Enjoy RoCo! He's worth Trevor Ariza + Saddiq Bey + Usman Garuba... apparently.

    No one off this team aside from Brown is good enough to be on the Blazers roster this season. Several guys looked like they could be roster filler in the first two games, but reality's set in since. You could cut Elleby off of the way he's performed, of course, the odds he'd ever be a rotation guy were slim and none.

    I hate watching selfish guards in g league and summer league thinking their way into the league is by scoring and only scoring.

    Now the announcers are saying Dame was unhappy about not being consulted or at least kept in the loop about the coaching hire.

    WTH?

    I wish these guys would do their homework a little bit instead of just spouting off nonsense that idiots will run with.

    Amazing how these commentators love to just totally speculate about Lillard.

    And they managed to come up with a new line of complete speculation that hadn't even been thrown out there yet.

    Elleby really can't shoot for shit but he's doing all the little things. Boxing out, getting back - I have little doubt the coaching staff are pleased with him.

    Mudiay looking good. If he lost about 20 pounds he's back in the NBA.

    Watford has also looked better on D, even if he's fouling everybody

    Suns gone on a 13-0 run. Sigh.
    Now 18-2. Sheesh. Notably while Elleby is off the court.

    The team favored to win the summer league finished with a .500 record? Heads must roll!
