Casey Holdahl goes one-on-one with Jerryd Bayless right here. Fantastic stuff, as usual. Get to know a little more about Jerryd now and then, as Casey announced during the last podcast, you're going to hear much more from him soon.

im almost as excited for this as i was for the draft lottery….

i am considering doing line by line analysis of every sentence…

Draft Kyle Singler.

This is one of the reasons

I do not advocate trading for a pg as Blake/Sergio are fine at the time being, and when JB is ready he will come in and have a Rodney Stuckey type emergence.

Does he get much practice running the 1st team or is he still relegated to running with Shav, Ike and 2 other bodies? If so how does he look?

It is good to know that he is focusing on getting better and this year will be a learning period for him and hopefully this summer he will work with Nate and Blake to learn how to run a team efficiently, yet still be able to assert his will and playing style onto the court.

If he can get to the hoop like TP...

you never know.

?

Come on. Parker was 19 years old rookie PG who played on a stacked team & overtook Anthony Daniels a 4th overall pick in 1997, averaged 9 ppg. Won a championship the next season & two more after that.

Bayless can’t even get on the court.

Sergio

Does this remind you of anyone?

Throughout the season, Parker also felt that he was often criticized too harshly by coach Popovich; in retrospect, coach Popovich admitted he was critical of his young playmaker, stating he wanted Parker to build a thick skin and mature sooner than his peers.

I think Bayless's ceiling

is Tony Parker. That’s a very high ceiling.

Two can play at that game

I think Sergio’s ceiling is Tony Parker or Steve Nash.

I think Brandon Roy’s ceiling is Michael Jordan.

I think Batum’s ceiling is Scottie Pippin.

I think LA’s ceiling is KG

I think Oden’s ceiling is Hakeem.

Let me tell you something

Kwame Brown had a ceiling of Bill Russell.

"But when my chance comes, I'll be ready."

Gotta love his confidence…not to mention his drive

I didn't mean to turn you on

The Blazers need to hire an assists coach for Bayless

How is he going to learn no-look passes without a coach?

by tominhawaii on Dec 12, 2008 6:41 PM PST reply actions

Sergio

Sergio helps him with passing while Bayless helps him with driving/finishing.

Bayless could dunk harder in high school than Blake and Sergio ever will

Viva la Rudylucion

He's too posh

He prefers Starbucks over Dunkin Donuts

Bayless is the man...

Bayless, Batum and Roy— my only players I really would not give-up.

Bayless has all the tools to win a championship with talent around him. His mental capacity for the game is off the charts— all of your starting 5 must be strong to win it!

"Both Anthony Carter and Jameer Nelson were downright jubilant in the Magic locker room postgame. Carter said to no one in particular, "Brandon Roy, that man is unstoppable, it's like he's playing NBA Live" and Nelson was cracking on his teammates for not being able to guard Brandon. The kinds of jokes you can make when you win."

I've been saying since I saw him at Arizona, Bayless is a Baller

And it Rhymes, or at least two of the words start with the letter B. The point Being that Bayless’ impact is ballooning like Beijing. His body is becoming built like a CAT Backhoe. His brain slowing boiling to the point where it wants to burst. And when he is bestowed his chance, BAM! – Badabing Baby, if Bayless is a Stock or Bond, my suggestion is Buy.

But maybe I’m a little high on this guy, But maybe I’m being a Blazermaniac.
