McMahon's concern: Morant and Lillard make a backcourt that will be a defensive target. Camara and Clingan might be enough to mask it. He says to 'let it breathe' after one game.

Donovan Clingan set big screens that left Lillard wide open. Portland's guard depth, with wings Camara and Avdija plus point-of-attack defenders Jrue Holiday and Scoot, is called 'almost a perfect Damian Lillard team'.

- Mike Richman: The Blazers crushed the offensive glass. The host expects this to continue because Donovan Clingan is one of the best at it and Toumani Camara can be an elite crasher. at 16:50
- Mike Richman: Host analysis: Toumani Camara's role has been shrunk a bit. He should get fewer pull-up transition threes and more half-court catch-and-shoot threes. Avdija was the engine of the offense last year and now has players to kick out to. at 26:57

In Portland's defensive lineups with Ja and Dame, there is heavy pressure on Avdija ('Denny'), Camara and Clingan to clean everything up.

- Mike Richman: The host's 'most intriguing lineup' pick is Lillard ('Damian Lord'), Jrue Holiday, Toumani Camara, Deni Avdija and Robert Williams III. He thinks these are potentially the Blazers' five best players, and he calls the group their most balanced and best lineup. at 27:13
- Mike Richman: The host thinks Ja Morant at his best is much better than Toumani Camara, but says we haven't seen that version in a couple of years. at 27:54

Live show: a speaker didn't expect Shaedon Sharpe or Toumani Camara to get extensions last year and found Shaden's more surprising. This implies both got extensions, but it isn't stated directly.

- Mike Richman: Toumani Camara is a disruptive defender who is good at drawing fouls, but not a big steal producer. The host says Camara has himself talked about lacking gaudy block and steal numbers. at 6:41
- Mike Richman: Micah Nori gave each available point guard a solo stretch without the other stars, alongside Vit Krejci, Toumani Camara, Sidy Cissoko and a center. That center was mostly Carlson with some Donovan Clingan. The solo guards were Scoot Henderson, Lillard and Morant. The host reads this as intentional experimentation. name not confirmed at 16:43
- Mike Richman: Backup centers rotated by quarter: Yang Hansen took the first-quarter minutes and Branden Carlson the second-quarter minutes. In the third, Portland went small with Camara and Sidy Cissoko as the bigs, alongside Krejci, Morant and Scoot Henderson. at 17:25

- Mike Richman: The host says Toumani Camara has to be on the court late for point-of-attack defense. He says Jrue Holiday, at 36, is no longer fast getting around screens, and Camara is the best on the roster at it. at 8:21
- Mike Richman: The host doesn't think they can go small with Toumani Camara or Deni Avdija at the five because they could not rebound. He thinks it probably has to be one of the bigs and probably can't be Holiday. at 8:41

- Mike Richman: Host says Lillard is opportunistic on a team that plays fast. He trails in transition for threes when Morant, Avdija or even Toumani Camara pushes the ball. at 22:13
- Mike Richman: After-timeout play: Lillard set a back screen for Toumani Camara, then came off a Clingan screen toward the right wing. The host thinks the play was designed to get Lillard a three, but Jrue Holiday hit Camara on an alley-oop dunk. at 25:08

- Mike Richman: In the first quarter, Toumani Camara drove baseline from the right corner. He got bumped off his spot and lost the ball with a loose handle. at 8:47
- Mike Richman: The host's swing skill for Toumani Camara is two simple dribble moves to attack closeouts. He calls the handle maybe the weakest part of Camara's offensive game, and describes him as a spacer who was a pretty good shooter last year. at 9:58

- Host prediction: the Blazers will start the same five they started in preseason, at least to begin the season: Ja Morant, Lillard (heard "Damian Lord"), Toumani Camara, Deni Avdija, and Donovan Clingan. at 16:34
- In preseason game one, the first subs at the under-seven timeout were Jrue Holiday and Sidy Cissoko. The resulting lineup was Ja Morant, Holiday, Camara, Cissoko and Clingan. at 16:53
- Preseason game one, second sub: Avdija (heard "Denny") came back in for Camara (heard "Tumani"), and Robert Williams III came in for Clingan (heard "Donovan Klingon"). at 17:01
- Play from preseason game one: Avdija got a hit-ahead and swung the ball to Clingan (heard "Donovan Klingen") at the top of the key. That flowed into Chicago action: Camara (heard "Tumani") set a corner pin-down for Morant, who took the handoff and got downhill to the rim. at 8:49
