The Portland Trail Blazers are set to have their best ranking bench since at least the 2019 NBA Western Conference Finals run. A reserve unit consisting of Anfernee Simons, Ben McLemore, Tony Snell, Larry Nance Jr., Cody Zeller, Nassir Little, CJ Elleby, and Greg Brown III offers a strong combination of experience, youth, athleticism, and skills.
The team is only lacking a true playmaker off the pine and perhaps a third center from having one of their most complete units in a long time. Portland still has two open roster spots as well that they could fill before the 2021-2022 season begins.
