By Cody Sharrett - If Maurice Harkless’ first season in a Portland Trail Blazers jersey could be summarized in one word, it’d likely be “opportunity.”
After appearing in only 45 games for the Orlando Magic in 2014-15, Harkless was shipped to Portland for a protected 2020 second round pick. Hitting the reset button in a new environment, the first third of the season saw Harkless as key player in Terry Stotts’ rotation. But early on, Harkless never really found a rhythm in the Blazer offense.
