    So, he's just above HCP status?

    I guess Covid kept our scouting efforts close to home - UW and WSU + briefcase full of masks + 2020 road trip

    We draft a player that every shot looks good to him.

    Uh, this is NOT what you want to see describing a player's shot mechanics. https://www.blazersedge.com/2020/11...ington-state-second-round-pick-2020-nba-draft

    "On the mechanics front, Elleby’s lefty jumper often starts with a cross-body gather that is similar to Lonzo Ball’s original form. From there, his release resembles Al-Farouq Aminu’s over-the-head, catapult-style launch."

    That is like combining Rosanne Barr and Steve Bucemi to be a SI Swimsuit cover model.

    Watching Elleby and looking at his numbers, his usage rate was insanely high. likely a byproduct of being on a bad team and having to take on a role he’s not tailor made for. Big reason for his up and down percentages imo. Off the ball he shows real potential though. Could be another Trent/Crabbe in that way.

    Yeah, that would not be a pretty sight. Thankfully the writer is completely wrong on that particular assessment.

    Damn, I was hoping it was poor shot mechanics that led to 39% shooting from the field.

    I was hoping that it was cuz WSU sucks and D’s focused on him like they do Dame. Cuz if that were the case, that problem goes away playing on the same team as Dame and CJ.

    His game looks almost identical to Gary Trent Jr., from the little bits that I've seen. I was thinking the same thing last night. Nice call! Hopefully he can hit wide-open 3's and defend multiple positions, as I don't think he'll need to do too much more on our squad.

    But they did note he was sixth in the Pac 12 for rebounding; that's pretty impressive for a guy 6'6".

    You clearly were not around for the '77 Blazers Championship - instead of the celebration and interviews with the players, they cut to golf....

    True. He’ll probably put up solid rebounding stats in the G league.

    Seattle guard that plays a lot like Klay did there. Stats are very similar and they are identical size. No way he ends up as good as Klay, but nobody saw Klay coming either.
    I think he will give Anfernee a challenge.
