The Portland Trail Blazers have won five out of their last six games, and new acquisitions Rodney Hood and Enes Kanter have not disappointed. Hood scored a game-high 27 points against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday, and Kanter is averaging 11.4 points and 7.6 rebounds per game despite only playing 19.2 points per game.
However, the strong play of Al-Farouq Aminu has gotten lost in the shuffle. Aminu has certainly benefited from the Blazers newfound depth. With the addition of Rodney Hood and the emergence of Jake Layman, the offensive pressure has been taken off of Aminu.
