    They would both start ahead of Tim Frazier. Yet both were throwaway garbage in our previous incarnation.

    you take out Price's last game (a 20 point game), and his scoring drops. And I'm not sure his play would be labeled "great" by any definition. Same with Blakes.

    Is this like how someone said Felton was playing great in Dallas, and I'm missing the green font?

    yeah, I guess it is actually, all three ex blazers are having productive seasons....I think you're taking playing great a bit out of context...I don't mean Ronnie Price is Steph Curry

    Barton is an unpredictable offensive player.

    That's what makes him so unique.

    Tonight: 19 | 5 | 5

    This loss stings.

    Freeland blocks Koponen (in a game that also features Monia and Todorovic (whom we drafted) with Khryapa somewhere in the vicinity)

    RoLo with six blocks.

    Five of those were on Drummond.

    Before you all go crying in your beer about Batum, he's production per 36 is nearly identical to last year. The biggest difference is that he is taking 5 more shots per 36, and he's getting a couple more FTA (because hey, he's not a Blazer).

    His 3pt% is up 3%, his 2pt and ft% is down 1%. His rebounding is up .6 assists up .1 steals and blocks the same, turnovers up 1.2 (which negates the assist increase).

    Now Will Barton, of course, is someone to get sad about. He just took his game to another level since his time in portland. He's shooting 40% from 3 (22% in portand). 50% from 2 (45%) in portland

    Dude is ridiculously effencient 50/40/85, and a great rebounder. And this guy just signed a cheap ass extention and will only make 3.5 mil per year through 17-18.

    I love Thrill's energy but he is not able to guard his position at all...he's a perfect 6 man for sparking the offense though. Will can't guard Lebron like Aminu can
