当我想到开拓者的现状时，我认为他们已经接近西部和联盟的顶级球队了。大约一年后。事实上，除了一(或二)个关键部分，所有关键部分可能都已经到位了。首发只缺一个能得分的小前锋，一个我们在夏季交易中无法得到的小前锋。我认为大前锋的位置是稳固的，而且随着柯林斯和斯瓦尼根的加入，情况正在改善。科林斯看起来最终会首发，如果我们能交易掉一些现在的球员的话，这个赛季他可能会首发。看到柯林斯和努尔基奇在一起的小例子很诱人。柯林斯可能是努尔基奇在首发阵容中最好的补充，尽管诺亚·沃勒也可以作为首发，上场时间有限。我认为每当Harkless、Aminu或Davis的展示结束(意味着交易)时，你就会开始使用柯林斯。柯林斯的防守，对比赛的感受，以及机会主义的进攻都不愧为首发角色。 I think he will mature fast as a starter and the Blazers will need to see his full potential on display sooner than later if they want to look like contenders and attract the final piece or two through trade. Other than starting SF and probably backup SG, I think we have a competitive roster. What if we had taken Donovan Mitchel at 10 and Kuzma at 26? Might have been better than taking Collins and Swanigan, although I like Collins enough not to look back. I hope we can get rid of Meyers Leonard and two or three of Harkless/Aminu/Davis/Vonleh. I'm thinking Aminu and Vonleh. The rooks need space to grow. Here's a somewhat irrational poll question to think about. I'll try to be more rational after the season starts.
