    @dviss1 isn't shallow; he loves Nurk no matter how he looks.

    He's a young project? He has good defensive IQ? He needs to get stronger?

    Gee, we would've never known. Thanks for disclosing such inside information.

    English isn't his first language, give him a break, coach.

    Guys getting beat up left and right. Practice how you play. The Blazers really are going to be the Bad Boy Bruise Brothers this season.

    I've never seen him struggle with sentence structure/grammar. Just find it funny that he sometimes tries to tell everybody what were already talking about, or obvious info about a player. Stuff like "Dame a good scorer" etc.

    Pretty significant imo. Think he can contribute at PF from day one.

    The fact that he did that BEFORE he was exposed to professional weight-trainers and could afford a personal chef is amazing. He clearly has amazing force of will which gives me great hope that he can work on his current weaknesses (defense, for example) to become the PF we need. Best case scenario he can be like Draymond, who was also drafted way too low because of doubts about his ability to guard SFs and his size to play PFs.

    Good to hear. Although, I don't think it takes much to guard Aminu. Just hang out and wait for him to dribble it off of his leg.

    I love when players are prematurely labeled as "projects"... He might be, he might not be we will find out soon.

    I'm tired of the Zach Randolph comparisons. Zach never demonstrated the indomitable work ethic we've seen from Caleb. I'm taking it next level.

    He's not Z-Bo. He's Karl Malone.
