Anfernee Simons has something to prove + Jerami Grant's path to becoming the Trail Blazers' 2nd All-Star

Anfernee Simons has pressure to live up to in his fifth season with the Portland Trail Blazers. He's capable of surpassing the expectations currently heaped upon him, but the expectations are still there to be met. We start the show today talking about what Simons' has to prove to fans and onlookers this season and how he can live up to the billing.

Then we talk Jerami Grant and why one listener thinks he is the most likely Trail Blazer to join Damian Lillard in the All-Star game. It's a tough path but Grant has the surest way to get there and in the second segment we lay out the plan for Grant to get into the midseason showcase.

Finally, Antonio Daniels joins the program to close the show and we talk Simons and Grant and how the Blazers have improved heading into this season.
