Today it was announced that Patty Mills would get the 15th roster spot on the Trail Blazers. But you already knew that . Well we didn't think he had much of a chance originally, so he got left off our "Super" Trail Blazers player preview, which has part one and part two . Here's Patty's introduction.
Young and brash, he can catch fire and fly like the wind.
Patty Mills was not only an outstanding player at St Mary's College, but also a complete standout in the Olympics with his Australian national team. The guy ran circles around Chris Paul and Deron Williams.
Not only that, but he was nearly unstoppable in college; ask Oregon Duck fans, they had Mills ruining their season early a couple years back when he was a freshman.
I think Mills is good enough to play on an NBA team, and contribute. He has tremendous ball handling skills and can get extremely hot. But he also looks to shoot first and relies too much on the three-pointer.
Being chosen as the 15th roster member on a team which already has three point guards is a tough break. This signing is for the future, the Blazers can decide later if they want to keep him around for good.
We're going to send you the most entertaining Portland Trail Blazers articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
