Portland Trail Blazers rookie Nassir Little has had an interesting year. He was thrusted into the spotlight sooner than expected, with an injury to Zach Collins and the poor play of Anthony Tolliver and Mario Hezonja necessitating Little’s presence. While it became clear that Little was a raw prospect, he showed flashes of what could be, putting on a display of great energy in spurts and even earning a starting spot in early games before Carmelo Anthony’s arrival.
With the NBA restart in Orlando creeping up and players like Trevor Ariza and Caleb Swanigan opting out of the restart, there’s a good chance we see more of Little in Orlando.
