Colter, a second round pick from #NewMexicoStateUniversity, finished with 20 points and earned a spot on the #Blazers #SummerLeague roster. #DanCaldwell of #UniversityofWashington added 16 more points and 10 rebounds for the White squad and will join Colter in Los Angeles. Tony Brown of #Indiana led all scorers with 23 points, but was not invited to join the summer squad.

For the RedTeam, #JeromeKersey from #LongwoodUniversity and #TimDunham of #ChaminadeUniversity each scored 14 points and earned roster spots in Los Angeles as well. A surprise player to earn a run in the #SummerLeague is #LanceBall who attended #WesternOregonUniversity. Ball averaged 15.7 points and 9.6 rebounds for the #NAIA #Wolves.

Before the main event, a team of Ex-#Portland players took on a team of former #SeattleSupersonics players, with the #SuperSonics pulling out the win, with a little help. The #Sonics only had four players show up so former #Blazers forward #GregSmith joined #SlickWatts, #LeonardGray, #HenryAkin, and #TalSkinner. The #Portland team consisted of #LaRueMartin, #DannyAnderson, #LarrySteele, #LeRoyEllis, and #DarrallImhoff. Most likely, this is the first Blazers Alumni game, but @blazerscollector.bsky.social would know that answer. The team would travel around Oregon and help raise for money for various charitable organizations for manny years.

July 10, 1984 - The @trailblazers.bsky.social Rookie camp concluded with a tight, competitive game that ended on a last-second shot by rookie #SteveColter to give the White Team an 85-84 win against the Red Team in front of 3,071 fans at the #MemorialColiseum
