What's new

Dame Time

Coming off the bench would be criminal? Mitchell didn’t even start games at the beginning, he’s also 2 years younger than Mitchell and not nearly as athletic or explosive as Mitchell. IMO he will have an adjustment period. Nothing wrong with him coming off the bench, and I suspect that will be his role at the very least to start the year.
I had predicted before Summer League that Keyonte would come off the bench and start around Christmas.

Now if he becomes the Summer League MVP and a stellar preseason, I wouldn’t rule him out starting come opening night.
 
Could Keyonte have a Kessler like route to starting? I highly doubt he's the Day 1 starter, but I could see it becoming obvious he should be the starter not too far in.

Seems like another reason to not start Sexton if you think he's a long term piece. I just wonder how he would handle being demoted by a rookie. Would be Cleveland all over again for him.
 
From Jake Fischer:

For the Blazers’ hopes of finding a multi-team package with Miami, there is optimism among league personnel that Portland will find at least a first-round pick from another franchise that’s more keen to welcome Tyler Herro. Although outside of early rumblings about Brooklyn and Chicago, the only team even loosely connected as a Herro suitor has been Utah.
