Examining Free Agency For Blazers’ Power Forwards

As the actual offseason gets underway, John Hollinger of the Athletic takes a look at the options for the NBA’s power forwards in free agency, including the Portland Trail Blazers’ Derrick Jones Jr., Zach Collins, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, and Carmelo Anthony. Hollinger uses his BORD$ formula to attempt to establish the actual worth of a player in the upcoming season. Here, he compares his BORD$ numbers to the possible salary implications for next season, starting with Jones Jr., who fell out of the rotation at the end of the season. To Hollinger, both Jones and Collins fall into the midlevel.
