[@GunninRebel55]

Great post! I love this kid Swanigan. He's gonna have a remarkable career as a Blazer. He has everything you want in a PF: He shoots it well from everywhere on the court, he has great length, he rebounds at an elite level, he has an uncanny ability to pass it and find guys cutting to the rim, his motor is always in the highest gear, basketball IQ is extremely high, great work ethic and desire to win and become great. Caleb also has something that can't be quantified. He's gonna do it all for the Blazers. He will be the glue and the heart and soul of the team. Even the weakness they say he has (defense) will end up being something he excels at. I really love this pick. Dame, CJ, Harkless, Swanigan, Nurkic!! This starting 5 will be monstrous! Oh and Collins will be the next great PF/C in the NBA as well. A+ for the Blazers 2017 draft.

Rip to that man🤦🏾‍♂️🙏🏾

[@jeffthedudelebowski4615]

Wow this is so sad dude.

[@shippoprecordings]

Oh wow. This was an interesting watch, really gives some context to the player that Caleb currently is. I remember watching him enter the game for the Kings late last season in garbage time and he was ABYSMAL. Looked completely lost and out of shape, stutter stepping back and forth as if he forgot who he was supposed to guard. It was baaaaad. I wish him the best, but he hasn't touched the court in a while and doesn't look like an NBA player whatsoever.

you should do a story about Orlando Johnson, house burnt down and lost almost all of his family while he was watching a highschool football game, his brother made sure he got his shit striaght tho and made sure he graduated and all that good stuff, the police showed up at the game and had to find him and pull him aside to let him know what happened in the middle of the game.
