    He's friends with all those guys and family to Dame..Dame hangs with his family ...I'm sure he's rubbing elbows at summer league passing out his business card...might get a spot playing in the Philippines or Turkey...

    Jabari Walker is solid.
    2022 was a deep draft.

    That jumper Sharpe made was really nice. It wasn't just nice jumper, it was more like WOW jumper. Would I like to see more? Of course. Do I want to risk him on his first SL game? Hell no. Patience. Patience, young Vanessa.

    After 1 game of summer league, I’m revising my Blazers depth chart and moving Jabari Walker into that starting small forward spot right now. Oh yeah. No doubt.

    One thing Walker said that impressed me when we first signed him was....I like that here in Portland there's an opportunity at my position.....the kid might go out and earn that spot

    Here’s something positive. The Blazers are making a game out of this. Heck let’s get a win!

    Good comp. I think he has a real advantage that his dad played in the league for around a decade.

    Jabari Walker's lateral quicks have always stood out to me for a guy his size. Has showed up tonight too.

    Pulled a couple clips a while back vs Kennedy Chandler this year...
