The Portland Trail Blazers‘ search for an upgrade at the wing has been one of the league’s worst kept secrets. The incumbent duo of forwards in Portland simply didn’t cut it in last year’s playoffs. Despite taking a collective 13.6 shots per game, Al-Farouq Aminu and Moe Harkless only hit 41.9 percent of them.
The pair were unable to stretch the floor for the guards and have never been genuine playmakers that get their team involved. Solid defense is helpful, but not enough to justify two of your core starters scoring a combined 15.
