    Watched him working out. REALLY long! REALLY raw! But the coaches said he works hard and wants it. Great attitude.

    Incredibly raw, but with that size and length, could he really be worse than nights when Nurk is sleeping? Or for brief segments when they have gone with someone like Nas at center? They play so much zone, have him just hang out near the rim and play volleyball with opponent shots. He'll likely gets some fouls called on him, but what rookie doesn't?

    Don't know, never seen the guy play, but they must think he has a lot of promise.

    He's had a sore knee for months, we signed him mid Nov and he has not played at all, it took them this friggin long to figure this out? WTF, he could have had the procedure done months ago and be playing now, shakes head

    Awesome--he'll be back in time to represent us at the lottery. He and VW have about the same odds of ever playing for the Blazers.

    To me, this is a sign that they really think Badji can turn into something good. There's no reason for the Blazers to keep him on the roster right now unless they think down the road he's going to help this team be better.

    History dictates that a Blazer center with knee issues can never turn into something good.

    That's not true. They can turn into the best color commentator in the history of the western civilization.

    If Wemby's aware of all this he's rooting for us to make the playoffs.

    Unless they're planning on rostering him next season I believe they remain limited to the 2-year limit on a 2-way player deal. I'm guessing we'll see him at summer league alongside Wemby, which should be a fun pairing.

    Plenty of time to heal and help us defend that summer league title.

    Chauncey said initially that his biggest problem was language so far...not much English comprehension. Senegal, he probably speaks French as a second language to his tribal tongue. Language cna really slow down the coaching process for a young raw talent..he looks like he's a strong guy...hopefully we can get him going here.
