that's all fair. It's entirely possible something clicked and he'll end up being better than a 29% three point shooter. I just thought your projection as him being a possible 37% shooter was pretty high given the circumstances I actually like Walker for his hustle, rebounding, and general low usage efficiency. He'd probably be worth re-signing at 3M/year or so. He's better than Murray, IMO. He and Banton are the only two players without a contract next season. If it was a choice between the two, not sure who I'd choose. Banton can be kind of irritating at times
Rupert was extended. Im happy for that. I think this kid will be a serviceable role player at minimum. https://blazers.com/news/trail-blazers-exercise-2025-26-team-option-on-rayan-rupert
I hope they make him a primary option in LVSL. He has skills, but lacks confidence and defers to older teammates when he is in a game. When he plays for the Remix, he is 'the man' and is much more agressive.
yeah, I get that. I was just commenting on what I've seen from him he has played 1093 minutes....that's over 18 hours! j/k
Jabari for me. I fell hard that one SL. I mean, I like all three of them, but Jabari fills more of a need. Plus he showcased a really improved three point shot last season.
I don't understand any hand wringing at all on this. He makes 2.2 a year. Barely a touch over the minimum for a 3 year player. As a 13th, 14th man on a minimum it's a great flyer to take.
No hand wringing at all. Hes fine for a flier as a 14 /15 man. Hes a good kid & I hope he succeeds. I just think there are better prospects to bet on in that role.
He has the physical tools of a elite wing prospect… 6’7” with Tayshaun Prince length But is he NBA caliber? He’s young but I’m not seeing it. He could very well blossom out of nowhere like Batum. As of right now I'm getting strong Nasir Little vibes. Keep or dump?
He's basically being paid the minimum, and is 21. To say you want to dump him for some other 19 year old you "scouted" with a few YT videos that every GM has somehow missed on, I agree, makes it a very silly question. Do we need to cut him so that we can sign a bought out Lebron and Giannis? Sure. Bye. But his rookie deal is so cheap it'd be stupid to give up on anyone like that unless they looked like Blevins out there.
