    I agree with everything but CJ being a terrible defender. Every time I watched CJ on the defensive end, he seemed very capable.

    I really think newbies should be required to wait a few months before being allowed to post or start threads. They also need to respect their elders.

    Some newbies get [ut off by some of the elders constant grim outlook. Nothing like being young and full of optimism!!! You should try it sometime. :)

    In life I've found there's nothing so overated as youth but there's nothing as tiresome as age. The truth is somewhere I'm the middle.

    Jeez. Where to begin. Forming and practicing new offensive sets might be a good start. They have a lot to work on with 4 new starters.

    Learning how to close out games and winning handily... I don't want this new era of Blazers to be end of game drama queens.

    I think at least 3 of those guys don't belong in the NBA. Connaughton, Frazier and Montero.

    Frazier, probably. Montero, not yet, but has elite potential. Connaughton, too soon to tell, but we should know relatively early in the season.

    I would add Harkless and Alexander to that list - but I'm out-of-sorts today.

    This is certainly Harkless' last chance.

    I will respectfully disagree on Alexander. He had some rough breaks, but shows all the signs of being a really tough and productive player. Classic example of a guy who needs a fresh start.
