24. Portland Trail Blazers

Projected Starting Frontcourt: Evan Turner, Al-Farouq Aminu, Mason Plumlee

The backcourt of Lillard and McCollum lead this team, but the frontcourt is….solid. The Evan Turner signing was a bit strange, but they did need a wing player. Turner isn’t the most consistent shooter, but moves the ball well.

Aminu has improved and is a pretty decent stretch four, but needs to show consistency and is a far better option than Noah Vonleh. Plumlee is penciled in at center, but Festus Ezeli could get just as many starts.

The Blazers frontcourt as a whole just needs to show consistency night in and night out. Something they failed to do last season.

Next: No. 23
