Which has had a greater effect on the Blazers maintaining their effort on a nightly basis, the progression of the rookies or the liveliness of J. Howard?
Juwan has been incredible, but to me, I think it’s The rookies. Jerryd Bayless and his improved scoring have been able to fill some of the void with Brandon out for so many games and Dante Cunningham coming into the league and being able to shoot the jumper the way he does is incredible. That’s not mentioning the stellar defense and athleticism for Cunningham. Also, Pendergraph has been great. I would say the GM, coaches and staff are the ones deserving of a lot of credit. The GM drafted and believed in these players and the coaching staff have put them in a great position to succeed out on the floor and step into new rolls where other teams may have trouble filling holes.
Great question. Thanks for writing!
