    Kerry Eggers-
    The Blazer delegation took Faried to dinner at Oswego Grill Sunday night, put him through a 90-minute workout session Monday morning and then spent time visiting with him afterward. After the workout, Faried sought out every member of the Blazer party for a handshake and a thank you, a smile on his face.
     “That’s Dennis Rodman all over again,” Florida coach Billy Donovan said after the game. “If I were an NBA general manager, I’d be taking him with my pick. That’s what a next-level guy looks like. He just totally destroyed our frontcourt.”
     “He’s going to have to learn how to play in a man-to-man setting, but he has a lot of potential,” Ociepka said. “For us to improve defensively, we need a stronger rebounder and a guy who will battle and help (LaMarcus Aldridge). Guys like this can help you.”

    This guy has got to be OUR guy! I f we draft him, he's instantly going to be a fan favorite. How long have we wanted a power forward who does nothing but crash the boards consistantly?

    The Knicks and the Blazers are going to be both trying to move up to get this guy, but I think Allen may have a few fallbacks he wouldn't mind taking a chance on if his buddy Dolan beats him out for the prized energy player both their teams could use.

    Yeah, he was tripping with that Scottie Pippen reference. Nowhere as good as him, BUUUTTT, I think he can be, if he plays like a man. In Euroleague, you are taught more about finesse, and the fundamentals. He needs to put a little more muscle on, ...

    Thanks Siccolo, not to knock on Bosh. I think if he was the number one option he would go back to being a beast. I miss making jokes about him playing for the RAPTORS. He is a great player.

    I think what Stotts is doing is superb. His plays are great. I remember the only play he ever called for Meyers Leonard, against the Bobcats. Great movement, got LMA a good mid range look, got Batum a decent three look and the got Meyers way down ...

    I watched Shabazz at the combine and he was a poor shooter.  In fact he did  so bad he did not even show up for drills in day two.  He may be a scorer not a shooter.  If he throws up enough shots he scores.  If someone looks a...
