With the announcement of Rudy coming to the NBA and the

Trailblazers, the fans are juiced about his unique package of

dunks, step-back threes and alley ooops off the dribble. I think

one factor in Rudy's game being overlooked is his speed up

the floor and our other rookie's ability to go looooong !

     The plain fact of the matter is that with GO in the middle

working the defensive boards, we will have more leak outs

by Martell, Smooth and now Rudy. GO showed some nice

outlet ability in his highlight package and I think it will be

a unexpected surprise this year. Rudy's highlight reel showed

excellent transition speed and handle in order to make him

one of our Runners. If we could only draft Westbrook at # 13,

we would have that final piece in a lockdown defender at the

PG (combo), who can really fly up the court and finish !

I smell something baking and I think it's a CAKE.
