    All of Barton's hard work has led to this moment.

    Will is a keeper, he's a future 6th man and I'm thrilled he's shooting the deep ball in preparation for a big game. Nico gave him a great compliment at the shoot around today. Said Will has stayed ready all season. Mo loves him. People keep dissing our bench but they can't put up points if they don't play. Will, TRob, DWright and Mo have played big parts in getting us this far. Freeland was a game changer pre injury. We were 35-13 with Joel coming off the bench before he got hurt. I think all these guys deserve some respect. Nobody will make a difference if they play 3 minutes every dozen games. Will is pure heart, a hustler with a great motor, similar to TRob.

    Great to hear this. I want those attempts to go down. That's a lotta shots to make 500 while unguarded and I'm assuming with a rebounder

    There was a bit of a debate on this forum if the Blazers should keep Elliot Williams or Will Barton.

    Did Elliot end up on a NBA team this year? Where the hell is he?

    He was on the 76ers. Did play a decent amount of minutes.

    I think Elliot signed with the Cavs and disappeared on their bench. My bad, it was the 76ers but he didn't light up the scoreboard this season. I always liked the guy

    It should be noted that this is a bump from last May. Almost a year ago today. Just saying that tonight is what all that hard work was for.
