This lavish empirical and anecdotal evidence has been enough to ignite a burst of excitement among Blazers fans, who regularly converse about Fernandez on Internet message boards, including fan site Blazersedge.com.

"Ninety percent of Blazers fans are excited," said Dave Deckard, who operates Blazersedge.com. "They think he's going to be a slasher and a scorer in the backcourt, and they are really high on him. Most (online) comments suggest that people believe he will be a starter, if not immediately, then very soon in the future."
