The Portland Trail Blazers are assembling an up-and-coming in the Pacific Northwest, and after a strong end to last season, they finished with 36 wins, putting them to within striking distance of a play-in tournament spot. And their young core is only getting better, with Deni Avdija blossoming into an all-around force, Shaedon Sharpe making strides on both ends of the floor, Toumani Camara developing into one of the best defenders in the league, and
Scoot Henderson set to get an opportunity to be the team’s full-time starter at the point.
