    Do you have to do it EACH post or did you find a way to default it?

    Here are Meyers' player statistic numbers for the 2017-2018 season. The averages are 60% of FG, 53.8% FG3, and a PER of 20.1. With a WS/48 of 0.254, he has the highest of all Trail Blazers.

    With these numbers, Blazer coaches should be counting on Meyers for 15 or more additional points per game, getting back to the 28 points per quarter average that would bring wins back on track for 48 for the year.

    When Jusuf is missing shots, Meyers should replace him for scoring strength. A lineup with both Meyers and Chief for shooting swish3s, Zach for defense, CJ, and Dame, especially in the 2nd and 4th quarter lulls, can bring the Blazers back into the top of the standings. I hope to see Meyers continuing to be a force (shooting enough for 15+ points) in the 76ers game tonight and 112 or more Blazer points in a win.

    you still haven't answered my question swish3.....if Meyers were traded would you still be a Blazer fan? I don't recall you posting in any other thread about other players.....are you a Blazer fan or just a Meyers fan?

    I am a Blazer fan who has Mposted thoughts on several Blazers including Dame, CJ, Chief, Zach, and Hark, with emphasis on finding the optimum in each. This forum is a chance to look for strengths and improvements in my view. The disrespectful comments about players are counterproductive, which weaken chances for the Blazers.

    Considering the additional 15 points per game that the Blazers have available by using Meyers, Chief, and Zach together, I see room for better results. Blazer coaches can more strongly rely on guys with the hot hands, getting them in for as long as they are scoring, shooting more FT3s, and keeping the points at 28 or more per quarter.

    As Meyers, Chief, and Zach advance in defensive skills, the Blazers can improve to performance and a record that can reach farther into the playoffs.

    In my analysis, Meyers deserves a lot of credit for his notable improvements this season, notably evident in the excellent player statistics that I have quoted here. Blazer fans can and should recognize these achievements.
