Youthful Trail Blazers Bench Vacillates Between Hope and Disaster

When people talk about the Portland Trail Blazers, particularly during the off-season, they tend to focus on the top of the roster: Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, and Jusuf Nurkic. That’s understandable. The Top 3 Trail Blazers are far more famous (and talented) than the rest of the roster.

Today we’re going to go the other way today, though. In our weekly Wednesday chat, Dave Deckard and Dia Miller will try to define Portland’s bench, how strong it is, and what (if anything) needs to change.

Dave: Our colleague, Steve Dewald, is doing a marvelous job writing up the roster in detail from bottom to top.
