I dig this kid. He's not as pass oriented as Rubio, (Nor as good looking.) but I dare say he has poise. And the tools and confidence to take over. We probably won't make the playoffs this year, but he's gelling. Getting accustomed to the game and the grind of the league. Granted the Blazers suck it up when the chips are down and they're often fallen by the curse of Walton, but despite all this I have hope.

I thought he'd be a nice player. I bet the Blazers didnt even know they were getting this when they made the pick.

Still think Leonard is going to be a bust.

Probably. But all things considered with Portland's history of draft picks, one out of two isn't bad.

Going to see them play Philly in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to checking him out, very nice surprise.
