Among the hopefuls on the Portland Trail Blazers roster as preseason commences stands Chinanu Onuaku, a 6’10 center hoping to stick in the NBA after two seasons, and only six appearances, with the Houston Rockets. Old friend David MacKay caught up with Onuaku this week, as the big man reflected on his time in Houston and talked about his chances with the Blazers.
As MacKay chronicles, Onuaku wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with Portland’s roster:
The fit in Portland has been comfortable thus far. Onuaku was already familiar with several of the roster’s younger members, and he feels well-liked among his peers.
