Lets take a look at the Trail Blazers. They are led by LaMarcus Aldridge with 20.6 points and 8.4 rebounds. I believe that Aldridge, Love, and Smith are the best PFs in the league. Damian Lillard, what a rookie season he's having with 18.2 points and 6.5 assists. There is no doubt he is the rookie of the year.
Nicolas Batum is one of my favorite SF in the league with 16.4 points and 5.5 rebounds. Wesley Matthews has 15.5 points and has been very consistent. JJ Hickson is the C with 12.5 points and 11 rebounds. Very good job at the boards.
Now this is what kills them, the bench. Meyers Leonard is the leader off the bench with 4.7 points and 3.5 rebounds. They will make it to the playoffs but won't go far. In the offseason, they need to get better role players.
