    I thought our second round pick was from Detroit via the LA Clippers.

    You never know how a guy's body physique is going to change with time. Do you recall Raymond Felton?

    Seems like his biggest weakness is he always drives left but like to finish with his right hand? Other weaknesses seem correctable. Obviously very inexperienced with not playing much his only year in college.

    He's trying to dunk almost everything, which feels very retro - I like it!

    lol he seems so eager out there, I haven’t seen a player like that in years. It’s almost working against him because he’s burning himself out with his energy. But against the Lakers it seemed like he was a little bit more in control and let the game come to him. He made multiple good cuts off the ball. And I love his defensive instincts even if he’s too aggressive. I just like the idea of what he could become.

    I'd love to see us start him the rest of the season, just to get him more minutes with Nurk and Ant. He's so raw, so having him with the 2 most talented people on the roster out there should help him a lot, instead of getting burn with Blevins, etc.

    Yeah I love that idea, especially since Winslow is starting too. Would mean he’s sharing the court with the best playmakers on the team. He could just settle into his future role.

    i can't get over how much it sucks to not be able to forcefeed 35 mpg for Nas to develop as our future starting SF now. What horrific luck...

    It was really strange. Almost as if he was under a voodoo spell.

    He is. He's developing as our future injured starting SF.

    I'm not holding my breath on him ever being healthy. Not with the current training/medical staff, at least.

    Always sad to see a promising career go to waist.


    Okay, I’m done here. ;)

    Brian Wheeler making the call.
    "Oh Raymond Felton, that Voodoo that you do!" Not describing Felton's spectacular on-court play, rather his addiction to Portland's famous fatty fun food.

    Had Kuminga in a blender! But naw seriously, his upside is immense. All his weaknesses are fixable and some of them will be just by more experience.

    Brown averages 1.5 SPG and 1.8 BPG per/36. I've mentioned it before, but I believe those categories (along with rebounding) translate to more minutes. There are only two guys in the league that average at least 1.5 steals and blocks per game in the league, just to get a sense of Brown's potential.
