Portland Trail Blazers star Deni Avdija opened up on his future with the team as he figures to be the team's key player next season.
Avdija has been a true success story in Portland, becoming one of the most well-rounded players in the league.
Additionally, first-round pick Yang Hansen got some advice on his career. He enters a key year where he can showcase his potential in the NBA and prove his doubters wrong regarding his draft position.
Finally, the Blazers' approach to the NBA offseason got criticized as the team landed two veteran guards, even though the team is far from contention.
The acquisitions may still pay off in the long run if Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday help the young guards develop.
