Outlaw's Play Has Blazers Taking Notice

The Oregonian - In Portland, Travis Outlaw is drawing attention to himself for excellent play.

In one scrimmage, he twice blocked a jump-hook by Jamaal Magloire, racing from the weak side to volleyball spike the shot from the 6-foot-11 center. Later, on defense, he blocked a dunk attempt in traffic by 7-1 center Joel Przybilla. All the while, he has been diving on the court for loose balls, streaking on fast breaks and leading the team during wind sprints.

"He's gritting his teeth going in there for rebounds and loose balls," coach Nate McMillan said. "He's fighting, showing some fight, and we need that from him. If he can continue to do that and get better -- because he is not there yet -- he can play. And he can help us."
