Hassan Whiteside is struggling. Be it injuries, defense, rebounding or finishing, he has struggled to impact the game consistently for this Portland Trail Blazers team. His lack of an outside game coupled with an inability to even move his feet on the perimeter, means his minutes will be limited if there are better options at center.
After Skal’s impressive game against the Bucks, is it time to take a chance and bring him into the starting line-up?
Even though he’s been in the league for four years, Skal is only 23. Drafted originally by the Kings, he was traded last year for Caleb Swanigan in a straight swap at the trade deadline.
