Trail Blazers Fan Fest Live Thread and Impressions

ThePortland Trail BlazersFan Fest is slated to tip off at the Moda Center this afternoon at 2 p.m. The annual event will give fans their first up-close look at the newest iteration of the Blazers, including No. 3 overall pick Scoot Henderson and double-double machine Deandre Ayton.

Other new faces at the event will include Kris Murray, Malcolm Brogdon, Robert Williams III and Rayan Rupert. The event will serve as one of the first steps in integrating Rip City faithful with a Damian Lillard-less Blazers squad after 11 seasons with the franchise star.
