The Portland Trail Blazers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves twice this week, in part due to a surge of contributions from their young players. The twin wins are being viewed as a potential Renaissance in Portland, an opportunity for the team and its coaching staff to focus on youth and energy.
Several players stood out during the victories. Shaedon Sharpe, Scoot Henderson, Dalano Banton, Toumani Camara, Donovan Clingan, Kris Murray, and Deni Avdija all had big moments.
Some of these players will regress, no doubt. There might not be room to play them all, for one thing.
