A seemingly small addition on a minimum contract, Mario Hezonja could still be the deciding factor for the Portland Trail Blazers in next year’s playoffs.
As the former No. 5 pick, the Croatian star Mario Hezonja has had high expectations placed on his shoulders his whole career. While he has failed to live up to them thus far, perhaps he can grow into his potential and play a big role for the Portland Trail Blazers next season.
Recently signing with the Blazers on a minimum deal with a player option attached, Hezonja presents himself as a low-risk, high-upside for a contending team with no money to blow on big name free agents.
