The Trailblazers are a young team that is showing their skills this year and improving quickly. The team has gotten off to a quick start and has 13 wins and only 6 loses. They are currently tied for first place in the Northwest Division and are currently third in the Western Conference. The reason the team has improved so much in such a sort time is because of their leading scorer Brandon Roy, and top forward in LaMarcus Aldridge. But also, the past years their draft's have been very effective and they have gotten some key players like Greg Oden, Rudy Fernandez, Jerryd Bayless, and Nicolas Batum.
Greg Oden is in his rookie year, but missed all of last year after having surgery to repair damage in his knee. Rudy Fernandez was a star in the Spanish league, and got him in the draft, now he's one of the best players off the bench. Jerryd Bayless doesn't play many minutes, but he could possibly be a star in the league in a couple of years, he just needs time to develop. Then their starting forward Batum, the Blazers picked him up in this years draft and has been a surprise pick. He has been a legitimate starter and is a top defensive player on the team.
What's the Blazers future going to look like? Playoffs? Champions? What do you think about the Blazers?
