Portland Trail Blazers hybrid forward Wenyen Gabriel has become a bright spot, even despite the 0-2 start in scrimmage play. Will he earn his way into the regular season rotation?
Attempting to one-up the excitement Jusuf Nurkiu0107 and Zach Collins’ return feels like the equivalent to following up Vince Carter and Zach LaVine in a Slam Dunk Contest. Yet, somehow, Portland Trail Blazers swingman Wenyen Gabriel appears to be up to the challenge.
Heading into Orlando’s scrimmages, it felt like Gabriel’s role in the rotation was long down the line of questions to ask.
