The Portland Trail Blazers have multiple up-and-coming players who could have breakout seasons in 2025-26, including Deni Avdija, Scoot Henderson, and Shaedon Sharpe. Unfortunately, one player Blazers fans shouldn't expect to take a leap is Kris Murray.
Blazers general manager Joe Cronin made roster moves this summer to clear the path for their young core. But that's not necessarily a good thing for Murray -- it could expose the fact that he's too much of an offensive liability to crack a rotation at the NBA level.
The Blazers selected Murray with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
