With the Trail Blazers heading out on a week-long road trip, this feels like a good opportunity to do our first mailbag since the start of the season.
Since Substack has a comment section, the way we’re going to do this is for you to leave your question as a comment on this thread (paid subscribers only). I’ll keep the thread open until I have enough questions for a mailbag. Might do a two-parter if we get enough good ones.
If you’re not already a paid subscriber, now’s as good a time as any to get on board. A gift subscription is also a great idea as the holiday season approaches.
Hi Sean, love the pod.
My question is have you gotten a sense of Malcom’s, jerami, and especially Aytons feelings towards scoot (past the standard praise) but do they see him as the future of the blazers and what’s the locker room look like with them (body language towards scoot)
My question is along the lines of Taylor's. I'm curious if you have any insight on how the front office is feeling about the young picks. I know fans have been pretty discouraged with scoot and his lack of flashes of something that makes us go 'ohh, I see it's. I personally have higher hopes for Sharpe but his recent slump is making me nervous. Camara looks like a potential #3 of the future, hoping he can develop anything on the offensive end. I've been more and more impressed with Walker, I'm worried he's a bit undersized though to be a starting player. I know this is a lot but I'm curious how you see things and what you've heard.
