Scoot and Sharpe are going to be great for the Blazers future. Amen looking good, kinda disappointed with Bari… Cam and Tari looking good.
Whitmore looks like he's got some dog in him, upgrade to the goon squad? Almost like a more athletic Eric Gordon on the drive with that strength.
I reckon Amen's more explosive, but Jalen's more agile/graceful. Amen may be faster end to end, but I reckon Jalen's still got him beat in terms of lateral movement/space creation.
If Ime was serious about "you have to earn your spot" then Jabari Smith would be coming off the bench under Eason. Also, Cam's got major tunnelvision and can't pass. Dude needs to play in the G-league until he averages 10 assists per game.
Amen looks by far the best for the Rockets and it's honestly not even close. Defense, passing and scoring, he plays with absolutely incredible control.
Jabari is absolutely useless on offense if he can't hit a jumper...super disappointing. Tari looking extremely polished and looks even stronger than last year. He might end up being the best player of our group on the floor.

Is Zion still available? Please trade Jabari for him, I'd rather gamble on an injured young superstar than waiting for Jabari to get remotely good at anything on offense.
***It's just the first half of the first summer league game*** Amen as advertised. Lightning quick, crafty finishes, makes the right passes, defends well had at least 2 strips. Cam hilarious lack of vision/court awareness. He's spending the year in the GL for sure. Tari-nado! Jabari Smith better knuckle the fk up because Eason is earning his minutes.
Good to see Alpi, KPJ, Jalen, Ime, Stone and Patrick all there sitting court side supporting the team.
So, pretty pleased with Amen. He’s playing with some poise and not forcing things as much as I expected. Also like the effort he’s given. Cam showing some potential. Both are obviously a work in progress.
