The Portland Trail Blazers are thinking into the future about their starting lineup for the upcoming season.
The Blazers are likely to start Scoot Henderson and Anfernee Simons in the backcourt while new trade acquisition Deni Avdija joins Jerami Grant in the frontcourt and Deandre Ayton is the man in the middle.
However, Bleacher Report writer Dan Favale believes that the Blazers should look at finding ways for Shaedon Sharpe and Donovan Clingan to be in the first five.
Clingan over Ayton is the most obvious change. The latter is more dynamic offensively, but the Blazers have more future equity invested in Clingan.
