    I'd be shocked if we see any of RHJ this season, any meaningful minutes, I mean.

    You know where he does help, though? In practices. In intra-squad scrimmages. He plays good defense and hustles. He scraps. He gets mad if you touch his head. It helps make you better to practice against those guys.

    Just saw a report saying the Blazers are waiting for him to clear the NBA Health and Safety protocol and then he will sign. Hoping by the end of this week.

    I think there are minutes for him in certain situations.

    When we really need to ramp up our defense with RHJ in the game, Powell knows how to get him fired up!

    He hasn't completed and passed the health and safety protocol. I think I read Friday is when he is expected to sign.

    Loved Billy Ray as a kid. Later in life, I dated a girl from the Phillapines who knew NOTHING about sports....but knew Billy Ray because he had played in some league over there for a cup of coffee.

    I think he will play, especially if/when the team keeps giving up 2,000 points a night. He’s been a rotational player all five seasons he’s been in the league (so terry will trust him) and more importantly defends. He’s also a versatile defender, meaning he could theoretically guard 1-5. He’ll get on the court imo.

    2,000 points a night? I really am on an island and I don’t mean Hawaii.

    Watch this guy come in here and get into shape and just explode! I would just love to see that happen.
    What if he started giving 10-20 mins a night of absolute lockdown defense and made 6-8 points a night?
