The Portland Trail Blazers have been struggling this season. Through each tortuous step, young forward Noah Vonleh has languished alongside. Secure as the starting power forward last season, Vonleh began the year injured, never regained his spot, and has spent most of the last month stapled into his warm-ups. Ironically, in his limited playing time he’s posted some of the best numbers of his (admittedly humble) career. The apparent dichotomy between Vonleh’s performance/need and playing time provides the topic for today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag question.
Dear Dave,
I keep reading in the comments that Noah Vonleh is not getting enough playing time.
