With Grant out he's getting more consistent minutes and becoming a good role player who just does a lot of things well.

Start with a good player, add some defense, develop good handles, play with confidence, and add a good helping of PT. Stir well, and see what happens!
I think that horse died a couple years ago. You can stop beating it.

Former Iowa Hawkeyes Star Sadly Approaching Bust Territory
Heading into the 2024-25 NBA campaign, you would have thought that Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray would be getting more opportunities. After all, th
and what was the attendance yesterday? It's still being beat and not just by me.
And, you know what? Keegan has been inconsistent as well and has at times regressed. When reading this article, It felt like someone writing about Keegan. Now, we know that Keegan is not this bad because of where he fits with Sac and the usual spot in the starting lineup and playing lots of valuable minutes. And he's been growing other aspects of his game, especially on defense. Still not much improvement on handles though. Shooting hasn't truly become steady yet.Story from SI on Kris' lack of playing time and what it might mean:

In Kris' defense, I'd say that if the Blazers are cooled off with his development, then it's time he is moved. Plenty of teams looking for players to help their team with their style of play, with skillsets they're seeking. He'll be ok IMO. Just needs consistency and more PT (when opportunities arise).
As far as his PT, I believe they added other players after him, thereby further reducing the min. Sounds like their front office is in a rush to get results. And there's nothing wrong with that. You just don't want to make a trade, just because you can. Base it on specific needs.
I hope he can find the right fit.
He's gotta get better in these 2 areas, however:
26%: from 3
44%: FT%
I do too. He's gotta keep grinding. The "Run up the volcano" Luka desire. And I think he can.
Check out the club option deadline that is coming up in 8 months. Will be interesting to see if the Blazers exercise it.

OT: After the eye surgery, I contracted Type A Flu and ended up spending 5 days in the hospital. (2 in ICU Isolation). Was discharged yesterday afternoon. I swear I can't get a break!
Please everyone, be patient with me as I try to get back in the groove, LOL. Still weak and somewhat ill, but trying to function.

Uggh!
I missed it; what was the eye surgery for? For both eyes?
Damn flu; glad you are now out of the hospital.
There's a lot of nasty stuff going around. From Google:
As of February 5, 2025, several viruses are circulating globally, including:
- Influenza (flu): Seasonal influenza activity remains high in many parts of the world.
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV): RSV activity is declining in some areas but remains elevated in others.
- Common cold viruses: Various viruses that cause the common cold are circulating widely.
- COVID-19: While the pandemic has subsided, new variants of the virus continue to emerge and circulate, although at lower levels than before.
First surgery was for laser retina repair, 2nd was for cataract. Those went pretty well. Off to bed. 2 appointments later today. Cya'!!!!

This is from NBC's Today show this morning:
The flu season so far: 310,000 hospitalizations and 13,000 deaths.
Both had invaluable learning opportunities sitting behind “Patty Mac” and the Glue Guy.
Kris and Keagan owe their entire professional careers to their tutelage.

Since Kris didn't have the opportunities that Keegan had, I wish him well going forward.
