  3. Al-Farouq Aminu

Aminu only played 3 games this preseason, but boy did he have a major impact. In those 3 contests, Aminu averaged 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 steal. Neil Olshey knew what he was getting when he signed Aminu early in the free agency process, and he seems to be just as good as advertised. This Blazers squad is chalk full of tall, lengthy athletes, and Aminu may be the best of them all.
