Beverley, Johnathan Motley, Bruno Caboclo, Marcus Foster, Noam Yaacov, Ish Wainright, Oz Blayzer, and Ben Bentil have all either played in the EuroLeague or have the accolades to play there. The team's head coach, Stefanos Dedas, says that it's sometimes difficult to handle everyone. "No, [they are] not easy [to coach]," he said in the Podium House's Shoot podcast with Shai Hausman and Joba Gros. "Beverley is not easy to coach because he has some habits from the NBA. We talk every day with him. He says, 'Coach me, coach me, curse me out!' I say, 'Don't give me this [opportunity], it's what I love.'"

Gerald Bourguet: Frank Vogel on Ish Wainright in October: “He was in here more than anybody on our team. He's an extremely, extremely dedicated hard worker. He wants to perfect his craft and a good culture guy. Our whole organization loves having him around, and I've enjoyed getting to know him"
Sean Highkin: I was off the grid and flying to New York when the Blazers announced they’ve waived Ish Wainright and Skylar Mars. Wainright was fully non-guaranteed before Jan 10, Mays was a partial. Whether it happens now or after the trade deadline, the Blazers will eventually use an open roster spot to convert Duop Reath from a two-way to a standard NBA contract.
