The Timberwolves reminded all of Portland that there are still holes to fill on the current roster. The Trail Blazers have built a solid foundation of young players, but will now look to fine tune their roster for true contention. One spot that will likely be addressed is post defense.

The Trail Blazers currently rank in the bottom half of the league in BPG (blocks per game) and in opponent FG%. If Portland is take the next step in their progression they must remedy these problems. Finding a true defensive anchor would be a step in the right direction.
