In light of the coming new year it’s time to look back on the Portland Trail Blazers’ year that was. Over 12 months there will be some decisions that paid off well, and some that didn’t. Zach Buckely of Bleacher Report says Portland’s biggest regret should be its focus on guards in the NBA Draft and in NBA Free Agency:
They drafted one rookie (Anfernee Simons) and traded for another (Gary Trent Jr.), both of whom are guards. They added two external free agents (Seth Curry and Nik Stauskas), both of whom are guards.
