    Watford - 19 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
    Walker - 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
    Alexander - 8 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 blocks....in just 16 minutes.

    Nice to not have 4 guys under 6'6" running around out there all the time.

    Yay! Let other teams win actual championships. The Blazers are the best when it doesn’t matter.

    I love that they gave Summer League something to play for...makes it more than a glorified combine for scouts.

    I really think our Forward rotation is going to be solid which is a great relief. Do we need a two-way or something like that for another C or PF/C or are we standing pat do you think?

    Saying this for years
    It might only have been summer league, but this was important for the Blazers.

    First, the organization needed something positive.

    Most importantly, though, this was Chauncey-Ball. It was defense, run the floor, rebound, play hard-nosed and being unselfish. That looked like the plan for the team for the regular season, and to get all these guys buying in and executing it AND HAVING SUCCESS DOING IT was so, so sweet.

    I think the most important takeaway is that the guys we expect to make it onto the main club all looked good.

    Watford
    Walker
    Keon
    Williams

    We need them to play well so that we have some depth next season.

    I think it is more that we are excited that we actually have 2 young PFs that can provide depth.

    Seriously - why isn't Brown even at the celebration? Is he sick? In jail?

    What are you talking about... I'm on my way down to the tattoo parlor to get that ring tattooed on my calf.
