Yes I was kidding. But I do think we are moving aways from PG/SG to just.... guards since both shoot about the same. And the PF / C positions are becoming more similar as the Euro bigs influence the game with their outside shooting. (Do they even have a center position on the all star ballot? ) In college they don't even have SF's anymore...they are just called wings. Since we are quoting 60's musicians.....The times they are a changin
I thought he played better. Obviously there is still room to get better, but better nonetheless. My biggest issue last night and the main sign that he still needs to be more aggressive was when someone (dont remember who) passed to him on the baseline and he could have went up aggressive and destroyed the rim but instead he was passive and indecisive and did a soft lay up that he missed. I believe someone (Archie? Briscoe?) tipped it in but that play right there was where he needs to get better. What is the point of being tall and lifting your ass off to get huge if you arent going to use it? His first thought should have been Im going to break someone's hand if they try to stop me. Instead he overthought it and missed. Its a process and Im happy with the improvement but I dont see much more TBH
Davis gets dislodged in the post much too easily. Light Meyers outweighs him by 25 pounds. And while Ed is a superior help defender, he simply can't provide the lane-clogging presence Meyers can, if he continues to play defense the way we saw him do last night.
ML looks like he has improve I am happy for him. But I will take him game by game due to he show signs last year to break out and the next game he doesn't show up. So my opinion of him this year is I will wait and see.
I had a shiver run down my spine when, during the close of a time-out as the players where coming back onto the court, Meyers grabbed Zach Collins' shoulder and whispered some 'advice' to him before he headed back out onto the floor. Meyers Leonard should be no-where near this team. The rookies are already better than him, he has no business advising them, and our team would be better off if his 10-mill a season was off the books. Neil O, please, do us Blazer fans a solid, Meyers Leonard needs to be traded ASAP!
I'm sorry mr. nate, but i have to disagree. "legend" is a million times worse. especially in this case.
Leonard is still a smart guy, just doesn't translate on the court. He could probably coach one day. We know he overthinks everything anyway.
I think Ed is much better. Meyers MAY be better at guarding a play other teams seldom run (post defense), but all they have to do is get Biebs to move around a little, and he's lost. Ed is a MUCH better decision maker.
