    Portland worked out 60 players from this draft class. I wonder if the Blazers sell their scouting reports? Gotta make up that bread from empty seats in the Moda Center.

    This is what's important. I'm sure they have are scrimmaging with each other and getting reps in the system. The experience in SL games against guys trying to get two way contracts isn't nearly as important as our guys getting to know one another and getting some run together even if it's just in practice situations.

    Answer: someone who only made varsity his senior year of high school and then averaged under 3 points and 2 rebounds! Never give up on your dream, kids!

    Surprised so many upset that Scoot isn’t playing summer league. If anything I think it’s a good sign that the franchise is confident what they have and aren’t risking their future superstar in a summer league games that will absolutely do nothing to make him better. They are literally 5 games playing against 80-90% of players who will never see NBA regular season minutes. Absolutely selfishly I would love to watch him play, but I’d be even more pissed if he got hurt playing against some guy trying to make a name for himself.

    I swear Asian players hustle and play hard in every sport.

    Demographically Asian players have yet to make a huge impact on American basketball. Outside of Yao Ming (to a lesser extent Jeremy Lin) we haven’t really seen any lights out superstar players in the league coming from Asia. Most overseas players are from a European country. But I’ll be damned if one day we don’t see somebody from an Asian country as a perineal All-Star.
