Trail Blazers forward Al-Farouq Aminu is only 25 years old, but even so, he’s one of the most experienced players on Portland’s new-look roster. With 377 career appearances, the 6-9 forward out of Wake Forest has played in more games than anyone on Portland’s roster outside of Chris Kaman and Gerald Henderson. Given that, it makes sense that Aminu would spend a little time this offseason reflecting on his career, as people in many professions tend to do when they go from one organization to another.
“I was talking to one of my friends, Ishmael Smith, this summer,” Aminu recalled.
