The Portland Trail Blazers own a 6-16 record after 22 games of the 2023-24 regular season. They’re just passing the quarter pole for the year. That’s enough time to get an idea who they are while leaving room for hope and growth in the future. The Trail Blazers today—December 13th, 2023—look far different than the squad that started the season back in October. They’ll look different yet at the NBA All-Star Break.
In deference to that rapid, near-constant change, we’re resurrecting an old Blazer’s Edge tradition today: the Quarter-Season Awards. We’re asking you to vote for players in five different categories, nominating one (1) in each.
