Summer league 2023

[Blazinaway]

This is apparantly our SL Roster. No Shadeon. Not too surprised at that. I thought we might get to see more of our scrubs on the team though, like Keon Johnson...but not sure if this list is really complete.

Antoine Davis – Detroit
Scoot Henderson – G League Ignite [Pick No. 3 in 2023 NBA Draft]
Jo Lual-Acuil – Dynamo Lebanon (Lebanon)
Kris Murray – Iowa [Pick No. 23 in 2023 NBA Draft]
Duop Reath – Al Riyadi Beirut (Lebanon)
Rayan Rupert – New Zealand Breakers (New Zealand) [Pick No. 43 in 2023 NBA Draft]
Malachi Smith – Gonzaga

Likely there will be some additions for second year guys like Walker will be playing

remain interested to see if Badji plays and Blazers extend his QO which I think they would need to do

Ya, unless his injury is career threatening I have not idea why he wouldnt be back.

I keep posting it, but in the small G-League sample size he was stuffing the stat sheet -

20.7mpg, 7.4ppg, 6.6rpg, 1.4apg, 2.4bpg, 62% FG, 67% FT

Even those assist numbers are better than I would expect. Guy seems like just what the doctor ordered - rim protecting big, traditionally sized, excellent athleticism for his size, projects as a vertical finisher in the PNR.

yeah, would like to see what he's got as we need bigs like him so badly. The knee surgery he had seems fairly routine, lets hope he's fully recovered and can see some action

[Shem]

As of right now the roster hasn't been released.

PG: Scoot, Antoine Davis
SG: Sharpe, Malachi Smith
SF: Murray, Rupert
PF: Walker, Butler?
C. Badji

who else? Jeenathan Williams? Skylar Mays?

Don't be surprised if Sharpe is NOT on the roster.

[Village Idiot]

The team confirmed that Sharpe will indeed play!!!

Likely Sharpe is there to get in practice time in with Scoot and he might play in the first 2-3 games, before getting shut down. That July 9 summer league game with the Spurs might have Scoot/Sharpe vs Victor/Jeremy Sochan

Just got my ticket for Sunday. Hoping no one gets injured, rolling the dice on getting to see Scoot and Sharpe against Wemby.

Shhhhhhhhhhh, none of that now.

[m0ng0]

At this point let's throw are entire starting lineup out there

[DusterBuster]

I’m gonna make a controversial statement, I don’t think the team is going to be bottom 5 bad. Bottom 10, sure, but not bottom 5.

Probably won’t be far off

[Norm2953]

In six more days, we'll have something else to think about other than Dame

Dame nonsense aside, I’m legit stoked to see how Sharpe and Scoot look together.

The Shady Crown Jewell Connection is happening!

[The Sebastian Express]

I'll also say with the Dame news that I'm super excited to see Rayan get actual playing time this year for his development, which wouldn't have happened otherwise. Just trying to find some silver linings.

[m0ng0]

This is going to be fun

[Blazinaway]

This is going to be fun

Looking forward to these summer league games more than I was almost any of the regular season games

[red_power]

Does Keon appear on a summer league roster again? Oh, what a two-years-away-from-being-two-years-away project he is.

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. As sadden as I am to see Dame go, I’m excited for what this team has to work with. It really is like the Blazers are working with a 2 year rebuilding head start.

For most teams in this situation, what they rebuild with has to come from the star player traded, then they have a couple bad years to get top 10 picks. Thanks to the last two seasons being bad w/ Dame, they’ve gotten that part out of the way already to a certain extent. So what they get for Dame isn’t their rebuilding foundation, it’s an augmentation. It’s really a fantastic spot to be in for a **** situation.

100% we are truly lucky to have gotten Scoot to replace Dame. The more I do my Scootsearch (hs particularly) - dude is so obvious alpha. The idea him and Shae could have hypothetically gone #1 given diff circumstances (college, lack of wemby etc) is wild we have both.

Blazers with him and Shae (even ant to an extent as well) are strongly poised for a quick rebuild and likely even back in low seed playoff contention by next year (not this year). Get these guys a dominant young big, and it’s time to run.
