    Not having a chip on his shoulder is one reason why he slipped. Lackadaisical workouts supposedly.

    I just hope he is smarter than Westbrook seems to be at time, or maybe, better at controlling his emotions.

    Intriguing Story Lines for Summer League:

    Scoot: Richmond thinks he can break the summer league record average of 9.2 ast/game. Will he go for a lot of assists or call his own number? How many assists and points will he get is interesting, but the eye test will be even more important.

    Sharpe: Richmond thinks he can break the summer league record for points average, which is 26.2 (I think). Will he be tentative, or will he try to impose his will?

    Rupert: He's been charged with guarding the other team's best player in a professional league. Today I'd like to see him guarding Amen Thompson. If so, it will be really interesting.

    Murray: His bro just dropped 40 in an SL game. He doesn't need to do that, but he needs to show he can hit the 3, and can do other stuff. I, and many other Blazer fans, will be curious.

    Badji to the Bone: Can he get up and down the court? He can block shots, but can he alter shots. What's his role in the offense? Will opponents just leave him on offense. Another player I and many Blazer fans are curious about.

    Walker: I am super high on him, but it's more faith than reason. He just said (again) that he and Sharpe were the steals of last season. Well, it's time for him to show. The Blazers need rebounding. For the sake of all that is holy, please rebound the h-e-c-k out of the ball! Will he?

    Team: Hornet offense looked like iso ball, will we be running regular nba season plays? We have the talent to win the championship and Richmond believes (really, hopes) that we will, will we? We should dominate in the open court, will we get there? Will they shut down Sharpe after 2 games, or let him play it out?

    Too many regular-season players on the team to set a record. He won't get that many shots to do so.

    Westbrook and Chris Paul had a baby. That might be closer.
