Portland Trail Blazers

Biggest Hole: Frontcourt Consistency 

The Portland Trail Blazers’ backcourt was one of the most impressive last year, headlined by Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. However, they lacked significant help in their frontcourt.

Sure, they had the occasional contribution from Allen Crabbe and Al-Farouq Aminu, but consistency from the center position left a lot to be desired from Mason Plumlee. Fortunately for the Blazers, they inked Festus Ezeli and Evan Turner this summer in order to beef up their frontline.

While the verdict is still out on those two players, for very different reasons, the Blazers could be a team to watch in the West if Ezeli and Turner can play up to their potential in Portland.
