Dwight Howard, Jeremy Lin Could Fill Needs for the Blazers
Dan Favale of Bleacher Report looks at the potential fit of Howard and Lin in
Portland.

The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to bring in at least one more player
to put their roster total at 14, with that player reportedly being a center.
Portland could pursue up to two additions if they choose. Dan Favale of
Bleacher Report proposed two free agents that would make sense in Portland:
Dwight Howard and Jeremy Lin.
Howard would add to the team’s center depth, something they seem poised to
bolster:
Throwing him minutes as the second or third center off the bench shouldn’t
be seen as taboo. He’s still a serviceable rim-runner and rebounder at full
strength.
Squads with frontcourt minutes to spare and a very-together locker room can
roll the dice without losing too much sleep. The Portland Trail Blazers
already scooped up Hassan Whiteside, but they could use another 5 depending
on how much they still want to roll out Zach Collins at the 4.
However, Howard isn’t a free agent yet. He must still be waived by the
Memphis Grizzlies first (they traded for him with the intention of waiving
him, per Shams Charania).
Lin would provide similar depth to the point guard position, even as Anfernee
Simons prepares for a larger role:
Lin was good during his time in Atlanta last year. He averaged 19.6 points
and 6.5 assists per 36 minutes, converted 46.8 percent of his pull-up
two-pointers, finished well around the basket and reached the foul line at a
big-time clip. Only 13 non-centers posted a higher free-throw-attempt rate.
Back issues precluded Lin from playing a bit part during the Toronto Raptors’
championship push, and he appeared in just 37 games over the previous two
years with the Brooklyn Nets. The Blazers cannot count on him to have Curry’
s availability.
That’s fine. They wouldn’t be paying him much, and he’d be necessary
playmaking insurance.
阿拓15人名单还有一个名额,
Bleacher Report的 Dan Favale 撰文提到,
以阿拓目前球队阵容,合理的建议可以考虑D.Howard 或是 Lin.
Lin的部分, 提到可以增加板凳深度.
即使去年选进的菜鸟 Anfernee Simons 已经准备好了.
提到 Lin 在老鹰时期有着 PER 36 的 19.6分/6.5助攻绩效.
46.8% pull-up 两分命中率, 篮框附近不错的finished, 以及高罚球命中率
伤痛问题倒是不用太担心, 阿拓不会让Lin上场太久, 买个PG保险.
