4. Al-Farouq Aminu (Last Ranking: 3)
Season Stats: 11.8 PPG/1.9 APG/7.7 RPG
Last 10 Games: 10.9 PPG/1.9 APG/7.0 RPG
Despite 2 poor outings in as many games, Aminu remains near the top of the power rankings. Over the past week his hot shooting has cooled down considerably. In the first 12 games of the season, he shot a solid .434%. In the past 5 games though, Aminu has shot just .288%. I’ve said it for the past few weeks: Al-Farouq takes some really good shots, but also takes a whole lot of bad ones. If his offensive game can get back to the level it was at earlier in the year, the small forward (and the Trail Blazers) will be better off.
