Blazers' Deni Avdija Reveals Plan For Offseason Improvement

While there was some hope of a potential NBA Play-In Tournament run, the Portland Trail Blazers had a largely disappointing season, ending at 12th place in the Western Conference with a 36-46 record.

That being said, there were some surprising high points during the season. Specifically, these were seen with the performances of shooting guards Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe.

Simons averaged 19.3 points, 4.8 assists, 2.7 total rebounds, and 0.9 steals per game across 70 games. Meanwhile, Sharpe averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 total rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 0.9 steals per game across 72 games, 52 of which he started.

Another player who stood out was small forward Deni Avdija, who came to Portland from the Washington Wizards.

While the early season started a bit slowly, he wound up averaging 16.9 points, 7.3 total rebounds, 3.9 assists, one steal, and 0.5 blocks per game across 72 games, 54 of which he started.
