The Touchdown Jesus Statue of Blake Wesley

May as well play the man!

It is not like giving him some burn would hamstring our offense.

[TimmyBuckets]

I love the creatively worded threads for D- players.

I actually like to see him than Sochan on PG tbh. He is not gonna get backed-down like Tre on defense by starting PG’s, and Sochan can slide back to PF where he could thrive better. Not a popular take, but at this point he will be a better starting PG than Sochan.

no he wont....cause he cant shoot or pass....Just like the rest of our other pgs

Funny, I was just thinking of worse PGs in the league than Jeremy and I totally forgot Blake was on the team

Scoot is the worst.

Ouch I haven’t looked at Portland this year and you maybe right.

[couchman]

Poor Scoot. To think that I wanted us to go get him
Too early to say for sure that he is a bust but jeez he looks terrible!
One thing I did have right was a wish for another PG on this team

[ChumpDumper]

I am not a fan of this season's web/media designs. The schedule was illegible when released.

Good thing Portland is smart enough to keep playing him so he can get better instead of sending him to the g league and moving Jeremy Grant to point guard

scoot isn't playing at all right now.

Yes cause he's hurt not because he sucks lol

[scott]

That Sochan-Bran-Blake draft class we were all so excited about has a non-zero chance of being a complete bust

that wasn't exactly my point, but even it was, we don't know whether or not he sucks yet. we don't know anything definitive about the rookies ten games into the season. i mean, i doubt he sucks.

Much greater chance of having two good rotation players. When we get done trying to make Sochan a point guard that will become more evident I think. Sochan will probably be better than Kyle Anderson who's had a nice NBA career and Branham should be as good as Lonnie who's also having a serviceable NBA career.

Blake though? lol

Gotcha I was just following the flow of the conversation in this therad.

You said Landon Donovan was a lock for the 2014 World Cup squad and that Keldon would definitely have multiple All Star appearances in his career. Sorry Manny, one of my IRL amigos, but I don't trust your odds making anymore

I was never high on it.

I didn't love anyone at 9 (I liked Williams and was intrigued with Duren, but didn't want to see a team so bereft of talent take a high floor, abundant archetype like rim running C that high).

I liked Branham and was shocked he fell to 20, but was never a Sochan or Wesley fan.

With Wembanyama in tow, the days of hoping to hit a homerun with projects like Samanic, Primo and Wesley, need to be over and high floor, older types need to be back in play.

Nah, the problem is we’re trying hard to see foundational building blocks when in reality, at those draft ranges, you’re picking solid role players/archetypes. That said I think Jeremy is the type of guy you always want on your team.

Malaki has a bench microwave ceiling, which is great, but not a building block. And Wesley was always a reach. I just hope we get SOMETHING good out of trading away Derrick, who is crushing it in Boston.

It hurts a little bit seeing him play so well there as he'd fit in so well with the current team, but never would have gotten then number 1 pick if he wasn't traded. Plus, I am happy to see him on a winning team. I don't know if he would have been happy sticking around here on the rebuilding teams.

At least we don't have to deal with threads en led, "Derrick White is not a point guard".

[Ditty]

At this point, just give Wesley a chance to backup Tre Jones. He at least made Luka look foolish.
