This guy could be the PF of the future for PORTLAND alongside Jusuf Nurkic at the C. Caleb can be one of the greats, glad the Trailblazers get to see. HES A TRAILBLAZER in this own right well before he was drawing NBA attention. Some things are meant to be. You are an inspiration Caleb.

Now this is a kid that everyone needs to know about. He's the one who needs his own shoe!! How inspiring!

[@robertslogic6847]

After all that, I still shake my head at how in world some of these nba teams drafted certain people over him. He is going to be a good player in the nba, and a GREAT teammate.

[@CBrown9758]

I hope the education is as high of a priority as the sport of basketball for the coaches that brag on his skills.
