They are backing away from the prediction game about Portland anymore, you get the occasional doom and gloom artical, or commentary but most of the media are basically laying low after the over-hype of Greg and the under hype of the team in general.

the local outlook, including here on BE, was the same before the season started, especially after his summer league peformance.

Nic has been a very very pleasant surprise, and his future is looking bright. I’d say at this point he will never suit up for a D League game.
