    :biglaugh:ok homer. Says the guy that probably thinks Keon will be more than a role player (like Mathurin as you stated) just because he wears a Blazers uni.

    It felt two different games depending on if Garza or Walker was on the court.

    Keon hustles, but so far what I have seen, he doesn't really stand out. He hasn't really shown me an NBA level game. His ball handling is weak (which isn't great for a guard.)

    I get the sentiment, but they’re two completely separate players.

    He is a Blazer. I want to like him. I think some of you are just overcompensating because we have lacked any resemblance of defense from guards for so long.

    He shows flashes of D. The rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired.

    i don't see him as a two way guy. he's not close offensively. good energy on defense, but i don't see him being more than the 12th guy.

    In summer league with guys you've barely played hoops with..you're guards are going to turn the ball over. People won't be there when they lead a pass or thread the needle pretty often..that shit takes reps

    I never said it would happen this year. There’s gonna need to be some injuries before that happens.

    But the tools are clearly all there. And the way he plays is gonna get him on the floor with who our coach is.

    I wasn’t really speaking for this year. Just for his career in general.

    Walker is a Zach Randolph kind of guy... you don't need to run plays for him. He just finds ways to score.
