A little national attention on new Portland Trail Blazers point guard Raymond Felton from Rob Mahoney at the New York Times "Off the Dribble" Blog. ---------------- Getting up and down the court certainly didn’t hurt Felton, but pace alone wasn’t what enabled him to post career highs in P.E.R., assist rate, and offensive rating. Felton doesn’t have the kind of breakneck speed or impressive athleticism that would make him a weapon in the open court. The key was in playing alongside Amar’e Stoudemire, the most talented teammate Felton has ever had, and suiting up for Mike D’Antoni, an offensive wizard whose half-court system is criminally underrated. With those factors in mind, Felton has actually landed with an interesting Knicks analogue. Portland and New York couldn’t be more different in terms of pace, but the Blazers, too, have an All-Star caliber big man in LaMarcus Aldridge, and a savvy coach in Nate McMillan who can be trusted to orchestrate an offense in a way that Larry Brown and Bernie Bickerstaff simply could not. ---------------- ed: bumped to front page

Joe Freeman just mentioned that the locker room is referring to LMA as "The King Cobra" (in the second installment of FreeMail). What do you guys think? Apt? Can you think of a better nickname?
