Portland Trail Blazers at Summer League: Jabari Walker and Trendon Watford Show They Belong

Watford is likely a lock for early playing time but Walker, the 57th overall pick in the draft in June, is making a bid to sneak into the back of the rotation with his smarts and size.

The rest of the Blazers roster has been pretty rocky. We have to address the obvious struggles from some roster guys. Also, why did ESPN subject us to so much Richard Jefferson?

Plus, the play-in tournament is here to stay. That's good for the league but bad for the Blazers. Let's talk about why.
