    Neither look like NBA players to me.

    I wasn’t a fan I think he’ll be a decent player juts not 100% sold on him being great. Playing with Ball should help him get a lot of open looks.

    I still would have taken Amen ahead of him

    Why is it our SL team plays so well AS A TEAM? Three games in a row the other team's player has gone off but (apart from a lucky heave by Smith Jr.) we've been pretty comfortable as a team, despite Shaedon struggling most of the time. Can the SL and the regular season teams switch coaches?

    It's the roster, Blazers have good players.

    Although without Lillard I am interested to see if Billups offense and defense looks very different.

    They're running Chauncey's system......

    I'll give you a hint why the SL team is so much better than our regular team. Dame and Ant don't play defense. They pound the ball. There's no ball movement. There's no player movement. The guys on the SL team buy into the system.

    But not the BEST players (at least, once Scoot went down). And the Rockets are KILLING everybody else, but had to get lucky against us.

    This is why I'm so encouraged by Sharpe's play, despite his uncharacteristic shooting struggles, and perhaps even BECAUSE of them. If Ant's struggling with his shot he's pretty much useless.

    I would love it if someone a lot more talented than me would make a cool compendium of Shaedon dunks set to Space Truckin'.

    I've loved this guy in every game. He plays good defense, crashes the boards, can pass, and is decent offensively.

    I have a feeling you will see a guard “pounding” the ball quite a bit this season. All our guards in fact.

    Remind me during the season and I’ll take care of it.
