On Saturday the Trail Blazers fourth year big-man Meyers Leonard returned after missing seven games due to a dislocated shoulder. The news of Meyers’ return came as welcome sight, as it gave Portland a legitimate stretch-four option on offense. Even with his ability to stretch the defense, should he be re-inserted into the starting five? Personally, I say no.

In my opinion, the Blazers would be better off keeping Noah Vonleh in the starting line up alongside Mason Plumlee. Not only do their games compliment each other a little better than Plumlee and Leonard, but the individual games of Leonard and Ed Davis mesh together very well.
