It’s Time for the Blazers to Play their Rookies

Though a few new faces dot the Portland Trail Blazers’ rotation this season, the main core of the team remains the same as it did in 2017-18. So, too, do their troubling inconsistencies. Despite a hot start out of the gate, the Blazers have reverted back to old habits that have become frustratingly familiar to their fans over the last few years. Though Portland’s present remains murky, their future remains bright thanks to the auspicious duo of Anfernee Simons and Gary Trent Jr. The only question is, how long will it take for “now” to become “later” as these promising young players find a role.
