Recently we've discussed Greg Oden and Portland. He has reportedly said that Portland just wasn't the right place for him. With Royce White's anxiety problems I'd argue that Portland is the PERFECT place for him, with its friendly atmosphere and little big city mentality. If we end up trading back in the draft and picking up a lowry or millsap or any other asset I would be in favor of picking up White. Could be a steal, anxiety issues seem overblown. Thoughts?
Here is some video of the players from Thursday's pre-draft workout doing a shooting drill as the media was allowed in. Arnett Moultrie and Robbie Hummel were the big names in this group.
Here are some interviews from Thursday's workout. Headliners were Mississippi State Forward Arnett Moultrie and Purdue Forward Robbie Hummel.
Hey guys, I don't mean to intrude. You may have seen some of my posts if you ever visit Field Gulls or SBN Seattle, but the majority of those articles are football or baseball related. Truth be told, I'm also a massive basketball fan and have been a Blazers die-hard since I was a little kid. I don't get the opportunity to write about basketball often, which is why I wanted to share this one with you. I'd appreciate y'all giving it a click and seeing what you think. Thanks! I'll butt back out now.
As seen on www.trailblazers.com can't wait for the season...so excited are you?
My Blazers mix....End The Lockout
Coach Nick breaks down the title clinching game 6 of the 1977 NBA Finals - where Bill Walton and his TEAM overcame the mixture of stars on the Philadelphia 76ers.
Kemba Walker - Blazers do what you can to get this guy. The highlights are impressive, but make sure to check out the score and time left in the game against QUALITY opponents. A lot of these highlights are in crunch time with the score tied or within a few points. With Brandon Roy's knees, the Blazers could use a guy like Walker to play point guard and generate points off the dribble like a Rose or Westbrook. And he already has a better jumper than either of those guys. Kemba Walker is one of two players in this draft who have serious star potential (the other one is Derrick Williams). Blazers need a perimeter star who can get his shot whenever he wants badly. All accounts he is a high character guy. He is graduating from UCONN in 3 years, so you know he works hard off the court as well. So go get him. Here is another video if you want to see more. It is more extensive and includes commentary from a lot of experts and even president.
Coach Nick shows you what went right for the Blazers in this incredible, epic playoff game!
