With what seems like a relatively small signing, the Portland Trail Blazers may be on to something special here. The Blazers have picked up South Dakota State star Mike Daum to play with their Summer League team.
As you might remember, the Blazers went undefeated in last year in Las Vegas en route to being crowned Summer League champions. Picking up Daum could be key to repeating that early season success and a strong indicator of the positive progress the young core is making.
If Daum makes a strong enough impression, he might just earn the chance to remain with the team.
