Ranking the Trail Blazers’ roster in the month of January

The Rip City Project is once again taking a look at the Portland roster to see how the new faces are stacking up. We are now past the mid point in the season and the roster picture is beginning to clear up. The Trail Blazers have a squad that is littered with young players, most of which are receiving their first significant playing time. With youth comes inconsistency, so we will now attempt to see which players are handling the roller-coaster the best.

Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum have both put up all-star performances, but only one can claim the top spot in the rankings. Will Allen Crabbe hold on to a spot in the top five? Let’s jump into the January edition of Trail Blazers Player Power Rankings.
