I went out on a limb last week in my rankings and put Aminu at #3 over returning Blazers like Allen Crabbe and Meyers Leonard. Since then, the Chief has made it very clear who the third best player on this roster is. What’s not shown on the stat line above is his 1.33 blocks per game. This long, athletic small forward will be a staple in Portland’s line up as long as he can stay healthy.
