    Unless there’s some video of him cheering from the bench we really don’t know what we have yet.

    now that's a guy I'd bring back to retire a Blazer with that 15th spot....Patty is awesome...close to Mattise and Duop from Aussie hoops as well

    The $64,000 question is: can he throw a lob pass? Because we haven't really had anyone who could do that since Andre Miller (and Sergio).

    My guess is he got signed to give Scoot fits in practice. If he sniffs any playing time then something has probably gone wrong.

    Judging by 1:50 in this video, that's a definite no. However the video is otherwise encouraging.

    Good point. But can't Jrue and Love do that?

    I have no idea about Love’s defense, but Jrue might not practice very hard if they’re worried about injuring him.

    “The eye test reveals Wesley’s defensive prowess, particularly his on-ball defense. He’s quick, shifty, and capable of guarding various players, including the opponent’s best. Offensively, while not a prolific scorer, Wesley excels at getting to the rim and pushing the pace in transition.”

    I see Cronin let Chauncey pick out someone when they went shopping.
