Hassan Whiteside has provided the ultimate Rorschach Test for Portland Trail Blazers fans this season. He’s started 61 games, averaging 16.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, and a league-leading 3.1 blocks. He’s also been castigated for slow footwork, limited range, and a muted effect on Portland’s defense overall. Hanging over the discussion like a cloud is the impending summer free agency period, where the Blazers will need to make a decision not only about Whiteside, but their immediate future...both of which may be intertwined. That serves as the subject for today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
Hey Dave,
Do you really think [the Blazers] will want Whiteside back?
