At my Sunday morning basketball game, my buddy John and I talked about how tough the Western Conference will be this season. For example, we talked about how much talent the Portland Trail Blazers have. At center, they have Deandre Ayton (from the Suns) and Rob Williams (from the Celtics), both of whom have played big roles in recent NBA Finals. Then there’s a solid power forward in Jerami Grant, and perimeter players include Matisse Thybulle, Anfernee Simons, Malcom Brogdon, Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson. I still love Victor Wembanyama’s comment about Scoot: ”He’s really a great player. If I was never born, I think he would deserve the first spot.
