Man that move at 2:35 was pure textbook…this dude seems like such a Utah type player, I can’t believe they passed on him. Hayward is a similar type guy but Babbitt is just way better.
twolves are the dumbest team ever, they will suck for many years. They traded this guy and jefferson away..good luck
wow that jab step at the end put that dude on his ass.. this kid got some talent. i hope he kicks up in the NBA
@jkoff76 Brandon Roy???
welcome to portland
First time the Blazers drafted the guy I wanted them too!!
He looks really good oomgg
Welcome to Portland
@checktheavailability NOT, the wolves got em, and then wanted martell, HAHAHAHA. HA
dude is a beast, great pick by portland
Welcome to Blazerland, Luke. Hope you’re enjoying your 1st day in Portland, today. Tell your handlers to set you up with a apt/condo on the west side of the city. You’ll love it.
i dunno why the fuk twolves trade him to the blazers
@MisterBinx, The answer is never. They have 0 winning seasons without KG. They got lucky with one draft pick. I will say that there is a problem with the lottery because the Timberwolves have yet to have the first pick. Hopefully the wolves get rid of Kahn and hire Pritchard!
@grabbity , damn thats funny. When I heard they traded him for a guy that is 3 inches shorter, 2 years older, and basically the same player I could only laugh. They traded him because he can’t play defense in a league that no defense is played. It is hard to be a timberwolves fan.
welcome to the portland trail blazers baby!
welcome to the portland trail blazers baby!
this guy looks awesome! and hes white like me! 3:15 was awesome!
So… Welcome to Portland. I think you’ll like it here.
The final Pritchslap was executed on draft night 2010. When is Minnesota going to learn? Keep any player Portland wants from you. We already got Brandon Roy from them.
