Ulis looks so small out there. Still not a fan of the new uniforms either.

Bender is playing soft on defense

Man how wide open does Bender have to be to get the ball lol?

I don't think it's a good idea having Bender at Center. He's too soft

Evan Turners handles are balls.

Bledsoe looks amazing

Jackson is fearless with his drives, love seeing that from a player.

Ulis and Jackson like to force drives towards the rim. Gotta keep their heads up and make the pass when the defense badly helps one pass away.

also Bender playing C vs actual Cs isn't great. He's not strong enough for that yet. Right now vs traditional lineups he's a one position player, if teams are playing small (PF's at 5) then he can play C.

Blazers always seem to torch us in the first.

Love what I'm saying from Jackson so far on the offensive end. Attacking is always good, unless you're Archie Goodwin.

Leonard has gotten pretty built since entering the league, though.

He's aggressive as hell on both sides of the court

bledsoe just looks like far and away our best player. jackson at least seems to have a goal in mind, just has to keep his head up on the drives

He's going to be unreal once the game slows down for him.

I've actually liked the way Bender's played. Dynamic passer. A couple ticky-tacks have gone against him (from what I could see).

Bledsoe had to come in and rescue our second unit. Bled's looked great. Ulis has struggled. Jackson's yet to find his groove, as well. Second unit has, surprisingly, struggled with ball movement.

Jackson attacks the rim relentlessly, we haven't had a player like that since Archie Goodwin (who coincidentally plays for the Blazers now lol).
