Blazers' home run free agent signing is already changing everything

The Portland Trail Blazers absolutely nailed the final addition to their 15-man roster by signing Blake Wesley. Through four games, Wesley is averaging 5.3 points, 3.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals on 36/0/63 shooting splits. Those admittedly aren't jaw-dropping numbers, but those who actually watch Blazers games know how impactful Wesley's two-way presence has been.

With Damian Lillard and Scoot Henderson both sidelined, one of the most significant question marks entering the season was Portland's lack of backcourt depth. Wesley has exceeded expectations, stepping up in an increased role to help fill the void.

It's rare for a guard to carve out a role without effectively being able to space the floor, but Wesley has done just that.
