Touch a little bit on Caleb Love’s performance. Uh and then at the end of the show, I want to talk a little about Damen Lillard. Uh if you are looking for that show, you’re like, “Hey, Mike, Damen Lillard rejoined the Portland Trailblazers. Why the heck is he not leading the show?” I did a bonus episode earlier today. Um recording the I I recorded as the game was going on. Then I went and watched the game and now I’m back, baby. six shows again this week, but I have a whole show waiting for you specifically on the joy, excitement, and my thoughts on Damen Lillard returning to the team. Uh, so that is in your feed right before this one if you’re a YouTube listener. Um, it’s on my page right before this one as well. Um, or YouTube viewer that is uh so yeah, go check that out. But at the end of the show, I do want to share some thoughts on Dane. But here in today’s particular program, we’re going to focus on the NBA summer league performance. Game four, Blazers uh ran away and hid from the Houston Rockets with the monster fourth quarter led by James Bnight hitting his first five three-pointers. Oh boy. But obviously, we’re just going to talk about Young Hunson. That’s what we do. This is This is mostly a Hudsonbased podcast, baby. It’s all Young Hansen all the time. No, I mean, he’s the most important part of summer league. He was the most exciting part of about the Blazers whole July until Damen Lamont Ali Lillard decided to come home until Portland’s lost son decided to rejoin us in the Pacific Northwest. I guess he already lives here, but he decided to work here, too. So, let’s talk Hansen. This wasn’t a particularly good game for him. I don’t think he played well. In fact, I think this is probably his worst performance of summer league. And with that said, he finished with eight points, eight boards, five assists, and three blocks. Dude didn’t even play that well and he had 885 and three in 21 and a half 22 minutes 20 minutes and 50 seconds. He also turned the ball over four times. I thought he started really rough and that kind of set the tone for for a bad game for him. Bad is probably an overstatement. I think this was his worst game thus far. Um just in terms of like number of like oof mistakes, level of oof mistakes uh and and production. Um he had a decent post move early. got himself, you know, got inside, got all the way to the to the middle of the paint and just left a post hook short. It’s like a bummer. It was a good move. Then he got beat running back in transition just like the the the Rockets center just like sprinted down the floor and got a dunk and Hun couldn’t stay with him. That’s not nec like that’s not I don’t think that’s what matters the most in transition. You’ll hear NBA coaches talk about it all the time is your first three steps. If your first three steps, you’re you’re not sprinting. It doesn’t matter. Um the other dude just had the better first three steps than than than than Hansen did. He was deeper in the paint. Um he had a turnover and a behind the back dribble. He’s like handling at the top of the key, tries to go behind his back, kind of loses it, leads to to a run out. Um there’s a play on in the first quarter on defense where he got in the corner and he tried to close out on someone. The dude just went right around him to the rim and then he was in the post again um and he got stripped in the post on a little double team. That was all in the first like six minutes of the game. And even during that six minute stretch where it’s like he’s having a bad day. He did have two assists. Um both of them were of the sort of basic s dribble handoff variety, but still it’s like he’s involved in the action on offense. The run is still a bunch of that stuff where he’s at the top of the key running dribble handoffs. Um he did have a play early um where he got the ball and was dribbling across midcourt and made like a sick a sick off the dribble no look pass from you know in between half court and the three-point line maybe like I don’t know 32 feet from the rim 35 ft from the rim where he threw it you know kind of a look away no look pass off the bounce inside but they blew the play dead because there was a clock malfunction and then on the then so it’s like dead ball side out of bounds. Blazers get it back and then he freaking turns the ball over on the next possession trying to thread a needle inside. Like they stole what was going to be like a just an awesome pass. And I think that’s the sort of important uh that’s not the most important thing is that is not that he did a good thing and they took it away from him. I think this is just a reminder for um the those who will box score scout two months from now and look back like what do you even do in summer league? Oh, we had that game where we had four turnovers and three assists. Sure. Yeah, he did. Like the box scores is a is a factual document to some extent, but these games are so weird and sloppy sometimes that if you’re really judging a player’s like potential, the box score so so deeply meaningless. It’s so deeply meaningless. That play in and of itself, that’s one of those plays where it’s like it makes the notebook immediately. How many sevenfooters can do that? And that was in the midst of kind of a crappy start to the game. like kind of a struggle bus start to the game and he throws a pass like that and it’s like I don’t I’ll share my thoughts. I’ll share my my sort of overarching thoughts here here in a moment. But um you know I think there was some things he struggled with in this game. Uh he was way short on a trail three in the first half. He’s trailing behind the play. They kick it to him at the top of the key. He kind of um does like a shuffle step jumps like a jump stop to like catch his feet, get his base under him. Okay, I’m going to take a great shot. Brick. Way short. way short. Um start of the second half there was a play he caught in the post and he just couldn’t get around his defender in the post. Just not strong enough, not quick enough, a combination of those things to get around him. Um, but like then there was a moment in the third quarter where he got the ball at the top of the key and he spun past his defender and then he did a little euro one two side step to the paint, brought it all the way up to the cup with his with his dominant hand and got absolutely swatted. This play was so sick though for like how many dudes his size can make that play and then you um as Cory Brewer I believe once said got to the rim and ran out of ran out of talent. Uh like it it is it’s it’s those type of things where that’s a miss and that’s a block shot but there’s some stuff there and that’s kind of that that’s how I feel about him. Um, I don’t I don’t think this was a good game, and I’m not even trying to sell you on it being a good game, but I think there’s enough stuff that he does well, and there was enough things that he did well in this game that I don’t think he was doing well earlier last week. You know, we’ve they’ve been in Vegas for a week. It’s like I think we’ve seen him add some layers, steps, parts to his game that weren’t there to make me feel like, you know, he this isn’t a perfect player. This isn’t a guaranteed blah blah blah blah blah, but it is someone who has such intriguing skills and is a someone who I have watched add more variety to his game, which shows a level of either, you know, comfort and comfort and maturity in terms of like I know what I can do. I’m going to try something else. I’m listening to the coaches. I’m going to try something else. I like that. I want to talk about what I saw him do well even in even in things that were failures for the Blazers and and and quite frankly failures for Hansen as well in this game. Join me in that second segment. We will do just that. particularly good Yong Hansen performance. My guy struggled a little bit. He did, but I think there were some moments here, there were some act actions and activity here that we just didn’t see early in summer league. I mentioned his first game he almost exclusively operated at the top of the key. Very, very little action inside the paint, right? And then in game two, he was a little more active inside the paint, but he struggled here. And I don’t think in summer league he showed us like he has skills to like the the sk the skill level to score inside. It’s just adapting to the speed and the strength of this level of competition. And certainly at summer league, I think um Young Hansen has shown us that he that is going to be a part of his development. And I think in his interviews through shout out to Chris Lou, his translator, like through his translator, he’s um he’s admitted as much, right, that like that is going to be getting his conditioning right and getting stronger is going to be a big part of him developing as a player. But I think there were some things that he showed in this game that like he he just he just wouldn’t have done a week ago in summer league. little little changes. So, one of them was just rolling to the rim better. Just straight up rolling to the rim better. There was a play in the second quarter where the Rockets switched to pick and roll and um he just he got a little dude on him and he walked that little dude down to the post and he battled him for a position in the post and someone jacked up a three on on the Blazer Summer League team. I don’t know who it was. I was going to I was going to call them out, but I’m not 100% sure who it was. Didn’t make my notes. So, it’s like he wouldn’t have done that early in like if they had switched pick and rolls early in the in Summerly, he wouldn’t have walked a dude down and mashed him in the post. That is physicality, right? I thought a bunch of times on pick and rolls. And this is a thing that I don’t think he would have done early in the week. And I I watched him do in my notes, I have him doing it four times. I haven’t rewatched the game. I’m not going to re-watch the game. I’m going to tell y’all right now. But like in in general, um just watching it live, four times it caught my eye. Set a screen, roll, and mash. And what I mean by that is he just he sets a screen, he rolls to the rim. He doesn’t get the ball on that initial pick and roll, right? Um you you’d want him to get the ball more. There were several occasions when the Blazers didn’t get him the ball more um on on when he rol when he was rolling to the rim. Couple Sean Padulla spoonfed him one at the rim and then had another one late where he kind of got um uh Young Hansen the ball and Hansen uh like had a nice little righty finish right at the end of the fourth quarter with about two minutes left in the game. Um, but like he would roll and as he’d roll to the rim and he didn’t get the ball, he would find he would he would roll and hit whoever was down low, he would make contact, hit, seal, turn and look for the ball. He wasn’t doing that early in the week. He wouldn’t do that early in the week. That’s clearly picking up on coaching. After you roll to the rim, roll, seek contact, show your, you know, uh, square your shoulders, show your chest. I think that’s like some old school NBA postup stuff. Old school, maybe high school basketball for me, postup stuff. like uh yeah, it’s it is um it it was a level. It’s just like very simple basic stuff that he wasn’t doing earlier in the week. He clearly was doing today and with purpose also. And I’ve noticed this a couple times. I don’t think it made the show cuz it just didn’t didn’t make the mentions, but uh didn’t didn’t make didn’t make it out of my notes into to be mentioned in the show, but he really understands the Gortat screen or what some people call the traffic screen. And that is similar to this roll and hit type of thing. It’s the it’s using your physicality. It’s being really big. He did it a couple times to help uh Caleb Love and Caleb Love ain’t passing anyway, so you might as well help him shoot. Um but he he sets a you set a screen, you roll to the rim, and then as you’re rolling, instead of trying to get open and roll, you just you stop, set a screen in traffic, and basically screen your man to create to wall off uh a driving lane for a driver. And he did that and to set up a Caleb Love layup today. He did it earlier in the week. And he’s he’s clearly has a feel for that. And while I think like the inside scoring stuff is a is a place where he’ll just have to get stronger, more functional strength to get better, his feel for that type of thing is really useful. Um, and to show that that type of very minuscule growth like I’m getting deep into the minutia to find this to find some like positives from from it. But I think it is important to kind of you know after watching every possession of his you know it’s like these are things I didn’t see him earlier. It’s like his willingness to be physical there. Um, sometimes can get him a little bit distracted, right? I think a couple times in this game he was getting really really caught up with winning the physical battle with someone in the post and kind of losing either his position or getting out of re out of position for rebounding or um getting, you know, uh, just like not being part of the play, but getting part of like an arm battle to be physical. You like the physicality, but you got to know kind of when to draw it, right? Um, but that gort screen, that traffic street, that traffic screen is really useful because it’s just a simple thing that even if you don’t have good hands and you’re not going to be able to catch in the post and maybe you don’t have maybe you’re not going to be like a an above the rim finisher or whatever, that’s just a little way you can roll to the rim, you can either make contact, hit and and try to post up or you can make contact and use that Gortat screen to to kind of create a lane for a driver. Uh, and on one of those he kind of sort of half Gortat screened and then Padulla got deep into the paint and just kind of left it for him and he got a little layup. Um, I thought that was nice. There was also another play um right after uh um right after the he that play in the third quarter where excuse me the second quarter where he there this got a switch and they just like didn’t throw him the ball. Um and they jacked up a three. The next play down the court he posted up on the right side. They threw it into him. The Rockets who were playing relatively small just instinctively double teamed. Hey, too big. two. That dude’s too big. We need to send two. Simple kick out from Hansen. Sean Padulla knocks down a three. Easy money. Double team leads to an easy kick out. I don’t think he’s going to draw many double teams. That’s Young Hansen’s Sean Padulla is not going to play in the NBA. He’s a G-Leaker. Uh but I don’t think Hansen’s going to um draw many double teams at the at the next level, but he like he’s such a comfortable passer, right? He’s such a comfortable passer that um that stuff if he does get double team, that’s a huge win for the Blazers. And that’s why the rolling and hitting matters so much because if you roll and hit and you can maybe use that screen and that physicality off the screen to force a switch or force a late H switch or keep a little guy on you because you’re rolling with physicality then you can draw double teams and then you can use your strength. So it all builds on top of each other. I don’t think this is a particularly good Hansen game. I don’t think this is a particularly like um you didn’t come away like my guy but like I felt like there were little small things that he wasn’t doing earlier in the week that he was doing in this week. Blazers that he was doing at the on on Thursday evening in at in beautiful Cox Pavilion. Blazers play one more game. Uh I’m not often the fifth game of summer league is not a game where regulars play. So there’s there’s a chance that the Hansen experience is over for summer league. If it is, we’ll do a recap of of all my thoughts on them uh once once we get out of Vegas next week. Um real quick, James Bnight hit five threes in the fourth quarter. He has he has to make the show. He has to make the show. Um, Boo Knight was, you know, former high first round pick uh of of the Charlotte Hornets. Uh, never a good sign and, you know, ends up out of the organization and resigned by the Blazers in the G-League. Um, there’s some named recognition, so I think people were excited, but he wasn’t like particularly awesome in the G-League last year. And I think quite frankly, Boo Knight’s been bad in summer league. When I’ve watch him, when I’ve watched him, I’m like, “Yeah, I’m not surprised. He spent all year in the G-League. He’s not very good.” But, um, dude had five threes in the fourth quarter. He had 20 points in the fourth quarter. The Rockets scored 18. The Blazers 3518 blew They were up two heading into the fourth. They blew the game open behind Buke Knight hitting first five threes over the first like six minutes of the quarter. Dude was cooking um five of three, six of eight from the floor. So hit a two-pointer. But hilariously, he missed two free throws in the fourth quarter. Dude had five of six from three and missed two free throws in the fourth quarter. Would have had 22 if he had made both of them. Um he was really good. Um in the grand scheme largely meaningless for um his future. I think he’ll be back on the remix and um you know and will work his way to get another shot in the league, but certainly he’s he has not performed at a level where you think he’s going to be a player uh for for the Blazers. I have some stra I have some stray day whoa I have some stray dame thoughts. I’ve recorded a lot of podcasts today and my words are escaping me. I have some stray thoughts on the Damen Lillard uh resigning reunion stuff that I want to share in the third segment. Let’s talk a little more Dame. Join me there, won’t you? Still a pass versus point guard. I’m still Mike Richmond. And you are still listening to Locks on Blazers. As I mentioned at the top of the show, if you’re looking for my Dame Damian Lillard content, the King Hath returned. It’s uh in your feed right before this one. I did a whole show on Dame. Little bonus episode for you recorded on a on a Thursday afternoon. Now it’s Thursday evening. Uh it’s been 3 hours or something like that. I have some stray thoughts. One is that the Blazers almost certainly have to sign another player. I mentioned in that show that um while I hadn’t seen the numbers, my assumption was that they would have space to sign a um sign sign a a minimum contract. And based on my number crunching, I haven’t seen it specifically reported what Damen Lord’s salary will be, but based on the 3 for42 as reported by ESPN, my assumption is that it’s the full mid-level starting salary for this year, which is $14.1 million. So, plugging in Dame at that money, it’s pretty good money for someone already making 50 bucks from some 50 million bucks from someone else. If you plug in that money, um the Blazers would have about $3.8 million below the tax line. They’re not going to be a tax team this year. Don’t get it twisted. They’re obviously not going to pay the tax with this this team at this stage. Um if they’re good, they’ll end up paying the tax because that’s you’ve got to pay the tax to compete. But you it’s it’s important for repeater tax reasons and yada yada yada to kind of um keep don’t start the clock until you’re truly competitive. But the any minimum salary regardless of how many years someone has been in the league is is only $2.3 million against the cap. So the Blazers will have wiggle room below the tax line to easily sign another minimum contract. And they just need it because they need to carry 14. Like they still need another point guard even with Dame on the roster. That is assuming Dame plays somewhere between zero and I don’t know 15 games this year. I don’t think there’s any upside into him playing basketball this year. That’s my other thought on this. I have a couple more, but like I just uh I know that you, dear listener, might be itching to see Damen Lillard play. And and and I think that’s that’s cool. Like I got I I think enjoying Damen Lillard is is is your right and and probably the the way to do things as a Trailblazers fan. You can do head things however you want. But like even if you’re itching to see him, he shouldn’t play this year. There is no reason now with the situation he has with his contract, right? The Blazers, it’s not like they signed him. It’s not like he signed to a oneplus one like a one year with a player option for a second year with um with a with like a contender, right? And it’s like really important for him to get back in in March and so he can be ready for April and May. It’s like the Blazers if everything breaks right will be a competitive like playin team, right? I mean, I guess there’s a world where they’re slightly better than that, but I think like realistically you’re talking like a team that finishes somewhere in like the seven to 10 range, if not below that, right? But like if things go well, seven to 10. Um that’s like everybody hits their stride yada yada yada, right? Um I think some of you were like they could finish fourth in the West and that’s fine. Uh if they do that changes the the calculation, but there’s no reason for Dame to push back this year and play. There’s no reason for him to play. Like there’s just no upside. And because of the way the Blazers have the contract set up, I think they have to know that too. This is a this is a gap year for Dame. This is a year about getting healthy because you hope Damen Lillard is Damen Lillard, right? You like obviously he’s going to be a 36-y old regardless, but you hope that he can have as much time as he possibly needs to recover from an Achilles tear that he sustained at 34, get his body right, get his mind right, and then come back and try to light the world on fire at 36 as the starting point guard of the 26 27 Portland Trailblazers. That’s what you want. And any rush to get back early to sort of prove something or be something is it just to me would just put too much at risk. There is no I see very little upside other than like the heart wants what the heart wants and the heart wants to see Dame play. Like there’s very little upside in him playing basketball this year. I I I’m against it to some extent. Um so I still think they need a point guard. I still think they need point guard depth. I think they need another dude who can dribble and I think with the minimum contract space that would be important to add. I also want to share a story from a listener. Um listeners send me emails all the time. Uh okay, hold on real quick. If you sent me an email about Dame, which like 35 of you did this afternoon, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to respond. Here’s what I’ll say to you. Double thumbs up. It’s a pretty cool thing and I talked about it on the show. So, if you’re listening, you’ve already sent me an email about that. Um, yeah. I just I I was overwhelmed by the volume of Damian Lord emails. I’m usually pretty good about responding to I don’t know 80% of emails, but those that was very very very many of them in a very short period of time. Um, maybe I’ll get to them slowly over the next like two weeks. However, um, all of that said, there was an email I received prior to the deluge. This was like a few days ago from listener Jonathan. And Jonathan said, “Oh, I went to summer league.” Uh, and I and I sat behind uh briefly sat behind Joe Cronin and I kind of like talked to him a little bit and he was a nice dude and I was proddding him, you know, for like what what’s going to happen, what’s going to go on this this summer and like and uh and and Joe, you know, was like giving the the sort of like I’m talking to a fan of the team in public type of answers and not like giving him stuff. Um, but like still I think it’s pretty cool that the GM of a team would even talk to you. That’s that’s a who is legitimately a nice dude. Um nice guy, but like he’s uh listener says that he’s like proddding him and proddding him like, “Okay, but what are you going to do? You are you going to actually use the mid-level exception?” Because this is a fan who flew from across the country to go to Vegas. And so they know that when DeAndre Hayden gave back money on his buyout, the Blazers open up the mid-level exception. That’s the type of obsessives that are listening to my show and I love y’all for it. And he’s like, “You’re going to use the MLE, Joe. you going to use the non-t taxpayer mid-level exception? And Joe said, I hope to kind of gave him a smile. I hope to. And Jonathan sends me this email and says, “Oh, here’s some my thoughts on summer league. I saw I saw Young Hansen up close and I have all these thoughts and I talked to Joe and here’s a funny little anecdote.” And I said, “Joe Cronin ain’t using the mid-level exception. Get out of here.” And then four days later, he signs Damen Lillard using the mid-level exception. And I will say, Jonathan knew you got to trust people. I I got something I got to learn. some of these emailers, y’all know, y’all got the goods. Uh, so shout out to Jonathan. That was a fun a fun little anecdote. Thanks for sharing. And um I don’t know if you broke the news. It probably goes to that credit probably goes to Bill Orum of the Orgonian, but pretty pretty funny uh in hindsight to to uh to remember to have that story. Here’s my last thought on Damen Lillard. And I think this is probably something that is like big thematically that uh will be part of how we talk about the team and Dame for a year if not three years. Personally I am my the way my brain works. I can say hey this is a bit of a weird move basketball-wise and this is fun. This is a fun thing to do if you’re This is a f watching Dame back in a, you know, watching him make his return and be back in a blazer is fun. I have no problem holding those two truths at the same time. I think other people who are not wired like me want it to be more um more black and white, more uh binary, good or bad. Um, it might be a bad basketball thing and it might be a totally awesome fan thing. Like it might bring you a great deal of joy to watch Damen Lillard and it also might be like kind of a weird decision based on the roster. And for me, I can hold those things in parallel tracks and think them at the same time and still derive joy from from like the Dame Return experience while also being like, “Huh?” Um, but if I I just say that to say if like if you hear me say like it is a weird move, I’m not picking I am not like it is not a binary to say it’s also not a fun thing that could bring you joy. This is a podcast that believes wholeheartedly in holding on to your joy. If Damen Lillard’s return brought you a great deal of joy, hold on to it tightly cuz you’re not going to see Dane play basketball for a little while, but we’ll see him back in the building and that’ll be a bunch of fun. Um, we’ll probably do a press conference and he’ll get to talk about his return and what I mean. This is going to be fun, right? It’s like there’s a there this is there’s good stuff. Um, I think the challenge and for me it’s less of a challenge because I’m a weirdo is like holding those two parallel thoughts at the same time. Something could be fun and bring you a great deal of joy and also be a little bit odd and strange and quite frankly maybe even a maybe even a bad decision, but like um that doesn’t make it less enjoyable for me. Um, so I just I want to throw that. Um, I want to reject the binary outright to close the show here. Um, that’s going to do it. That’s six shows this week. Uh, I’ll say this. If you made it to the end of the program and you’ve listened to six shows this week, or you’ve listened to three and you’re going to go back and listen to one more, or if you listened to two and you want to listen to some more, you are not getting this Blazer coverage, this volume of Blazer coverage anywhere else. So, if you’ve made it to the end of the program, and I like to think it’s also quality of Blazer coverage as well, but I’ll just call it volume for now. Go tell a friend. Go tell a friend. Tell Tell someone who’s a Blazer fan who’s really excited about Damen Lord. Say, “I really like Octon Blazers. Mike does a good job. You will, too.” However you’re listening to this right now, share a link with someone you know. Click on the share button on whatever application you’re listening to this. And share with someone you know because um I’m recording six podcasts in the middle of July because I I love to do it and I love to do it for y’all. So do this for me. return the favor. Uh, and then we’ll come back and do five more shows next week. I appreciate you listening. I will talk to you soon.

Yang Hansen played a fourth summer league game. He wasn’t very good but there was a few flashes of new things that we hadn’t seen yet. Silver linings? Plus, stay Damian Lillard thoughts following the massive news on Thursday.
