Today we’re celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday by running down the Top 5 stories in the Blazers season so far. You may think that a .500-esque record wouldn’t leave many distinct points to talk about. You’d be wrong. Check throughout the day as we unveil (and invite you to examine) the trends typifying Portland’s year to this point.
We continue the series with the #4 factor: Anfernee Simons and Nassir Little. Not only have the two young players become regular parts of Portland’s rotation, they’ve excelled.
Simons has struggled a bit trying to fill his new role as backup point guard behind Damian Lillard.
