Bayless Named Vegas MVP

So yeah, did your team pick Kevin Love, DJ Augustin, Derrick Rose, Brooke Lopez? Really, that sucks. Because we picked Brandon Rush, then traded him for Jerryd Bayless, and guess what? He was just awarded Summer League 08a€² MVP.

Yeah he has been slicing teams up left and right this summer. I am venturing to say that this guy is going to be one of the best players on the Blazers. Do I dare say this guy is going to be better then everyone else at the 2 other then BRoy? I think we will have three rookies fighting for Rookie of the Year. Oden, Fernandez, Bayless. Honestly, think about that one.

Bayless does not seem like a point guard and to me seems more of a Monta Ellis type player, he is so fast it hurts my eyes.He is a true 2 guard. It does not bother me at all that he is either. I could care less who runs the point at this point. BRoy can easily run the point, Sergio will have a break out season, and we still have good ole' reliable Steve Blake.

I honestly cannot wait until the pre-season and season. I think the Blazers need to start investing more PR and marketing into Bayless. We are over flowing with 2-3's now, so I think signing PKopenen is a must. He really seems like a good substitute for Blake. I honestly see Bayless starting this year. He is going to shock a lot of people.

My lineup has changed once again.

BRoy - Point on Offense

JBayless - 2 Guard on Offense, will guard point on Defense

TOutlaw - SF

LAldridge -PF

GOden - C

So what are your thoughts on Bayless averaging 30 points and 5 rebounds this summer league? Do you think I am over hyping him?

Wow! I'm really excited to watch this guy play. I've heard nothing but good things since we drafted him. With Greg, Rudy and now Jerryd to look forward to this season... I am definitely considering buying a pair of season tickets more and more. I'm sure I'll be at every home game as it is anyway. Can't wait for the season. :-)

Im poor so season seats are out the door. Actually I really was going to buy some, but I just simply dont have the time. I wish so bad I could get rid of comcast TV and get FIOS TV like my internet but comcast has me locked in with the comcast sports net.

I enjoyed watching every summer league game. He took over like Chris Paul in that last game he played. It sucked he sat out tonight. I think the injury was BS, they wanted him to sit out and rest for the olympic select team. This guy has that "It factor" that carries over into the NBA and I feel so lucky to live in Portland. It's amazing how this team just seems to get better every year. We have an all star team out there now, and they are all team guys. Once Bayless has some talent around him that can score, watch his assist numbers go up.

I have one phrase that pays, WOOT SAUCE

you know your team young as hell when youre calling steve blake "good ol' " lol

Bayless has a lot to live up to now, huge expectations come October

I had the pleasure of seeing this guy in person @ summer league. He is good - he is very very good. He needs to learn to distribute the ball a little bit better. He may though, have been more concerned w/ showing his own skills than winning - which is what summer league is all about. Evaluating talent.
He is my early pick for rookie of the year.
If you live in Portland - forget food - buy season tix. You're in for a great season.

LOL forget food, school, insurance...you have just convinced me to go out and get some season tickets.

PRIORITIES! LOL!
You could always pick up a 2nd job.

Yeah this season is going to be crazy.

His name should be Baymore, ha

nhe was motivated cus all the teams passed on him and then those moron pacers trade him to us for jarret the to machine ,mcfloperts and brandon rush while we get jerryd bayless who was projected to go as high as 3 and ike diougu who is finally healthy

Bayless is pretty amazing. I can't wait to see what he does this season.

Jerryd Bayless (JB- Jr. Brandon)!!! As a Blazer fan, I have to admit- we are starting to look pretty flippin' scary. The thing I like about Bayless is his demeanor. The guy is confident- borderline arrogant on the court and humble as heck off of it. He is a gym rat and a straight player who will not be denied minutes. I think it's a great addition and feel sorry (laughingly) for the rest of the league. Kevin Pritchard is a wunderkind! Love em' in Portland and YOU ARE NOT OVERHYPIN!!! He is legit.

I placed my bets in Vegas already. Blazers should win at least 50 games this year. GO P-TOWN!!!!!!
