    great playmaker but can’t shoot or defend. Not an all star ceiling imo.

    Give his defense some time. He scores fine as-is. But I get he is not a threat as a shooter.

    Agbaji the rookie for the Jazz has been lighting it up lately. I liked him a lot coming out of Kansas

    I been watching the spurs lately they got a lot good young ball players on that team. They gave the Celtics all they can handle. Zach Collins had had really strong game also 18/12 as a starter. Lately he been really aggressive on trying to score.

    Ouch. If it’s something serious that’s another major injury for a guy who has had a few in his career.

    lol...not sure he's "prospering". He's only started in 11 of 57 games. He's played 57 games and missed 65. He's averaged 19.4 minutes. His PER is a little above average and his winshare/48 and BPM numbers have been below average

    right now he's a decent role player on a decent contract who hasn't shown he can stay healthy.

    on the other hand, the Spurs are definitely getting more out of him than Portland is getting out of Payton

    He’s playing better than he did with us. Never sniffed a double double in a Blazers uni
