    Someone wrote lyrics about that.

    Till the one day when the lady met this fellow
    And they knew it was much more than a hunch,
    That this group must somehow form a family.
    That's the way we all became the Blazer Bunch.

    They're trying to tank right now.... not it in the summer league.

    We're going for repeat champs! They don't want you.

    You missed your chance dog!

    I don’t see why testing out his handle would be any worse running open gyms against guys around the league than doing it against guys trying to get an NBA job or just got an NBA job.

    True. Plus he might have the chance to work against Allstars in open leagues. Valid point.

    Because opponent scrubs trying to make the NBA want to make a name for themselves against proven players and can play very wreckless risking injury.

    Level of competition at SL is probably lower than he could find at UCLA or with Dame and Beckner. Fairly certain Shaedon also worked out with guys like Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson in Phoenix with Dame and Ant last yr.

    The coaching staff will work with him at summer league. He’s in no position to tell the team he’s going to work out on his own. Not there yet. Won’t happen. Tune in to Vegas summer league to catch his dunks, I promise you he will be there.

    I would think so.

    If my memory is correct, even Roy & Aldridge played in 2 summer leagues. Outside of Dame, seems like every Blazer rookie worthy of being on the roster in the following season, was on the summer league roster heading into their 2nd year.

    Sharpe is no where near where Dame was after his first season. Same for Roy. I'd probably even give the edge to Aldridge, but that's closer.

    It feels like we've been watching Summer League for a while now, but, with our season ending, we can talk about the real thing. Whom are you most interested in seeing show up to SL? Obviously the first two choices are
    1. Victor Wembanyama, and
    2. Shaedon Sharpe

    Sadly, I don't expect to see either of them playing for Portland. Shaedon has probably done enough not to need to show. But what about the rest of our ragtag bunch? Some of the players we've rescued from the discount bin are actually a bit older than the average Summer Leaguer (would Kevin Knox really play in SL?), but the players I'm probably most interested in are:
    1. Jabari Walker
    2. Justin Minaya

    I had a dream last night with us winning the lottery. The top 4 in order were:
    Portland
    Indiana
    Charlotte
    OKC

    So, my answer is Wemby.
