Running list of prospects meeting/working out with Portland

Bundle of energy.

 

I need us to get Jalen Duren, Dalen Terry and Tari Eason on our roster and then bring back Mike Rice for pure viewing entertainment

 

So Shaedon has worked out with OKC/Orlando/Charlotte/SAS/some others according to him. (one of them was the Pelicans)

Orlando?! That went under the radar. They worked out Keegan Murray as well.

 

Wonder why Sochan was so quick to get out of there.

 

these guys have crazy travel schedules. Jordan Hall who was in the workout today, was just in Toronto last night. Wouldn't surprise me if Sochan had a flight to catch.

 

What the team needs is an influx of talent.

Let's be honest here - we aren't talking about trading for a high impact player. We are talking another RoCo/Nance/Powell type deal that barely makes the needle twitch. I'd rather have a guy who actually makes a difference in 3 years, than a player who doesn't really matter now or later.

 

....or he will be the color commentator for the Nuggets when they have Nikola Jokic and Nikola Jovic on the same team.

 

That wasn’t the question. The question was “could anyone start or be a 6th man”.

He would be a legitimate starter. Would we make the playoffs? Who knows. But it would also help him develop as a player headed into year 2, which is more in line with a viable timeline to compete than next year anyway.

And he would be so far ahead of Watford I question if you’ve ever seen him play.

The overwhelming majority of scouts opinions is: Immediate starter due to defensive ability and switchability, high skill level and BBIQ, coupled with ability to attack the rim, decent playmaking ability and handle. Willing passer. Great cutter. Doesn’t need the ball. Willing shooter.

Now how he shoots the ball really determines how good he can be in the end, of course, but a vast majority of scouts believe he’s a day 1 starter. I happen to agree.

 

Did sharpe not interview after the workout?

 

Posted at the bottom of the previous pg

 

He didn't even stay for the entire workout, though. That seems like it would be unusual.

 

Jalen Terry Eason looks better than ever! Put on 30 lbs of pure muscle over the summer. Plays like he is three people rolled into one! Pretty sure he can guard anyone from 1-5!

 

just as long as you acknowledge what Dame has done for the team in the last decade....which has been a hell of a lot more than anybody has done since Clyde

 

interesting edit with no Shaedon offensive clips.

 

Most likely the last workout of the year... unless we see surprise repeats.

 

If you’re so confident, put money on it. I’ll bet you $100 he’s not an immediate starter on a team that has playoff aspirations, including Portland.

 

Not to be snarky, but do you remember a guy named Roy who was praised for saving the team post jailblazers?

 

Almost like they don’t want other teams to see how he did.

 

Roy was on the court less than The HCP has been

 

I hope lil Grant is better for Portland than his daddy was
