Event With the 16th pick, Blazers have selected Hansen Yang

Or better yet, remember the Blazers?…..

 

I've seen Kuminga play...and I'm looking at his numbers....and I'm having a hard time seeing his value as much over 20M/year

 

Pretty much like Scoot/Sharpe. Won't give them the reigns and because of that they will sit like Kuminga and be unable to get a good second contract. Warriors should have traded him. Blazers should trade Scoot/Sharpe. CB will put a lineup out there of Jrue, Deni, Camara, Grant and Clingan if Williams can't go. Thybulle probably his sixth man. Since management has changed course to win now, with vets, Portland will have two players in Kuminga's situation. Get value while you can. It is a ridiculous turn of events, but many here want to see their team on the treadmill.

 

I don't agree. Even if and I still think it's a big if, neither Scoot or Shae start, they'll be good enough to be getting starters minutes off the bench. So they'll be able to show what they have. I don't think Jrue being here means that either Scoot or Shae will see their minutes cut from last season and last season Shae got 31 per game and Scoot got 27 per game. If anything they might see more PT. Also unlike Ant, Jrue is best when he's a pass first PG.

No I see a lot of room for our two young guards to grow. I guess Tisse could play himself into more minutes and then there might be a minutes crunch but I think the team can address that problem if it ever presents itself.

 

Scoot and Shae will absorb Ant's and Banton's minutes as well as their own from last season...they'll definitely get an uptick in court time

 

Kuminga got moved to 3rd string for stretches of many games and lots of DNP. Blazers have never done that to Scoot or Sharpe.
