  • Sheldon Wohlman of Utility Sports extensively covers the Portland Trail Blazers ahead of a jam-packed 2024 NBA offseason. Who could the Blazers look to sign in free agency? The Trail Blazers have four picks in the 2024 NBA Draft so who should they target? Matas Buzelis, Kel'el Ware, Dalton Knecht, Ron Holland, Donovan Clingan and Stephon Castle all make some sense in round one while later in the draft names like Baylor Scheierman, Adem Bona and Trentyn Flowers could all be tremendous. Would Portland ever consider trading away Anfernee Simons? Names like Malcolm Brogdon, Jerami Grant and Malcolm Brogdon all could be available. Leave a like and subscribe for more NBA Content!

      I feel like the biggerst knock on BU is the lack of deep knowledge. I think he does an admirable job of filling 40 minutes - especially when he has a guest to riff with. Utility Sports is deep knowledge. Just this segment shows what a deeply learned fan he is of the NBA but also, how closely follows other NBA teams. I feel like he's a Mavericks fan - does pretty well staying objective evaluating other teams and their needs - which for the blazers are many!

    Shaedon did not start out slow. Anfernee went down and Scoot was very bad to start, so early on Sharpe played huge minutes and looked great. He got a core injury in December and the played poorly until he was pulled and got season ending surgery.

    I think Sharpe did better than what it shows on paper. He did make an improvement this last season, his split was not great but that was due to a credit injury, and he was not playing in his true position so other players could not facilitate him effectively. Tonami as well played very well for his rookie season

    7 - Knecht, Salaun, Buzelis, Clingan
    14 - Edey, Da Silva, Holland
    34 - Dunn, McCullar, Klintman, Smith

That alone would warrant trading the 7th pick instead. You could almost go out and sign someone like Tyus Jones and be set at point guard for years. I just want Brogdan on Houston.
