Join host Danny Marang with special guest from the Portland Trail Blazers, Trendon Watford! Together they discuss where Watford is from, his young basketball life where he was a McDonald’s All American and 3-time state champion out of Birmingham, Alabama. Then it’s onto his path to the NBA as an undrafted player out of LSU - what draft night was like and how he almost wasn’t a member of the Portland Trail Blazers. Watford signs a two-way deal with the Blazers and sets out to prove that he belongs - what was the moment like when he DID find out he belongs and got his two-way contract converted into a full NBA deal? They wrap with how his game has developed as a big, from working in dribble hand offs, what players he watches film on and looks to borrow from, the evolution of his floater, developing a 3 point shot and what it was like being a part of NBA history as Lillard went off for 71 points.
