Can Danny?

The C's blew out the Blazers and made Greg Oden's debut one to forget.  That being said, Kwame Brown's summer league debut was very impressive so you never can tell.  That being said, here are the intial reactions from the first game from Vegas.

Rajon Rondo was a notch above everyone not named LaMarcus Aldridge (who was a couple notches above even Rondo). His shot doesn't look much better but I'm not expecting him to ever be a good shooter.  

Gerald Green still looks lost.  His handle has improved but he still doesn't seem to be a better, or more importantly, smarter player.  On the bright side, he looks much better than Martell Webster.

Leon Powe did what he does and looked great in doing it.  He's never going to be a star but he's definiltey someone that you want to have on your bench.  Allan Ray looked better in the second half but I personally don't see why we should spend a roster space on him.

Brandon Wallace (pictured left, from his college days) had an impressive game and seems like he has some potential, but with fifteen players already under contract, it looks like he'll have to be even better to find a spot on this roster.  Even if he makes the team, I don't see Wallace as being anything more than D-League fodder for this season. 

Josh McRoberts looks like he might have been a better fit than Big Baby.  While Josh didn't get a lot of minutes, the defense and passing he did show made more of an impression than anything Davis did.  Gabe Pruitt looked solid and should be a nice player off of the bench.  Taurean Green also seemed like he was an NBA point guard, although his lacks of a shot and athleticism might make it hard for him to make a roster.
