You seriously think any of that will be improved by playing in 3-5 games in which scrubs are playing for their livelihood, and are willing to throw their bodies around just to get noticed by a team in Europe? Practicing with the team will accomplish the same. Again we are just talking about a few games.
I was not high on him when we drafted him, but that kid has some game. He is VERY young, but has shown some flashes. I can tell you he works his ass off and the coaches love how he listens. Complete opposite of a certain player we shipped off to Sacramento.
I have no doubt that Lillard will make sure players will be doing what is necessary to get players in situations to improve their game. can you think of any other way that he can improve?
Zach in exit meeting said he going split time between Portland and Las Vegas. But of course LA is not far from Vegas I guess he could wind up there too.
Im thinking because his dad is a coach he will probably help with his summer routine. Once he obtains fairly consistent confidence along with bulking up some, he's going to be a beast, playing with vets during the off season will help in that regard.
Do you believe Simons/Trent/Skal/Collins are the future of the team? Then put them on the court together and see how they actually mesh. Even if it is just a few games against scrubs and rookies, that's more value than teams usually get from summer league.
Collins and Simons are the only guys who will be real rotation players/eventual starters. Play them in pre-season together more if this is an issue.
Sorry, lol. One of my favorite gifs of all time, I use it whenever I see the slightest opportunity to, even if it doesn't make much sense.
I see Zach the starting 4 next year and you might see Aminu slide to the small forward position if they resigned him. Because I believe they will trade Harkless this summer or they my trade him and 25th on Thursday.
Damn people are amazing high on Anfernee off of ONE game. I like him, a lot, but you guys gotta temper that a bit.
I will admit, that was arguably the most fun Blazers game I’ve ever worked! We were cheering in the truck, which NEVER happens.
I think he will be good for close to 8-10PPG off the bench next season. He’s gonna get Curry’s minutes. I don’t expect him to be great but I do expect some offense.
