    Mattisse shoots the 3 well off the bench and with Jrue either Deni or Shaedon may be coming off the bench as a 6 man...Shaedon and Scoot and Khris need to improve as 3 pt shooters. Duop is a decent shooter.

    you don't understand the "comparison"? It was a simple gauge between a player we have seen very little and a player we are very familiar with. A gauge of skills and basketball value. Of strengths and weaknesses. That was pretty obvious

    it doesn't matter how "cheap" Kispert is compared to Grant because Washington won't be trading Kispert for Grant; at this point, Portland appears to be 'stuck' with Grant for a season or two more. The Kispert/Grant comparison in terms of contracts is irrelevant because that wouldn't be the exchange. There's no either/or here. It might be either Thybulle or Timelord. Or maybe Kispert absorbed into Portland's MLE

    as far as size: Kispert was measured as 6' 6"; Grant was 6' 6.5". Kispert was weighed as 224; Grant was weighed as 214. Essentially they are the same size

    Yeah, Mattise really did well off the bench, Rupert, Khris were not good with the three at all.

    I dunno if the Blazers should be interested but I certainly don't find him interesting. He would need to be a serious knockdown shooter to overcome his other deficiencies, and he's good but not elite. If we're going to get somebody with defensive inadequacies just to improve the shooting of our squad, let's revisit the Sasha Vezenkov suggestion. He rebounds, too!
