Is Anfernee Simons the Blazers Future?

Hey basketball fans! Anfernee Simons is 19 years old. He was drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 24 pick in the 2018 NBA draft.

In the Blazers last game of the regular season, the Blazers had already clinched the 4th spot in the 2018-2019 NBA playoffs. The last game was at the Blazers home court and Terry Stotts thought that putting the Blazers rookies in for the WHOLE game was a good idea. Anfernee Simons took the challenge and showed what he could do.

By the end of the first half, the Blazers were down BIG and the crowd was quiet. Then Damian Lillard said "I know we are down BIG, but this team can do it!" That really made a difference to Anfernee. He came out after half time wanting to win the game. In the first half, he had 14 points and in the second half he had 23 point and hit four 3-pointers as well.  In the first half, he only made three 3-pointers.  

So, I think Anfernee can play a BIG part in the Blazers season next year if they give him a chance to play.

Next Step for the Trail Blazers

It is no surprise the Portland Trail Blazers have no money. Everyone knows the Blazers 2015-2016 free agency ruined the Blazers salary. Some of the signings or re-signings where good, but most were not. In the 2015-2016 Blazers free agency, they resigned Meyers Leonard During that year, they also resigned everyone else for a HUGE amount.

First things first, the Blazers need to wait out for ONE more season and the fans need to be okay with that. In one year, all of the Blazers big contracts expire.  The current Blazer team can't be the old Blazers and resign ANYONE maybe except for Rodney Hood or Enes  Kanter.  They should NOT resign Leonard, Mo Harkless, and absolutely not Evan Turner. His nickname is literally "Evan Turnover."

It breaks my heart, but the Blazers need their rookies Anfernee Simon's and Gary Trent Jr. to develop.  In NBA2K19, I always send the two rookies to the G-League to improve for next season. The Blazers need to do either that or give the young rookies some playing time during the season. In conclusion, the Blazers need to figure out a way to play them both. Personally, I think they should take away some of Turner's minutes.

What do you think the next step is for the Blazers? Write it down in the comments below.

Anfernee Simons' Crazy Potential

Anfernee Simons' crazy potential is known all throughout Portland. He scored 37 points in the last game of the season. The last Blazers rookie to do that was none other than Damian Lillard. Lillard is arguably the best Portland Trail Blazer of all time, except maybe behind Clyde Drexler. Anfernee Simons came right out of high school, and I know what your thinking... How!?!?. Well, he found a loophole. He did one extra year in high school.

I think Anfernee Simons could be better than Damian Lillard. The reason I think this is Anfernee Simons in an interview he said "I NEED to get better on my defense." In CJ's and Dame's rookie years, they didn't even talk about getting better at defense. On offense, Anfernee Simons can "fly!" He can do windmills and many other types of dunks. He needs to get more strength, but he is only 19 that will solve itself. I'm excited about what next season holds for him.

1 Thing the Trail Blazers Need to do to Win a Championship.

The Portland Trail Blazers need to do many things to change the way people think about them. The Trail Blazers don't need to have so many big contracts on their team like Evan Turner and  Meyers Leonard. Don't get me wrong, they have been playing good for the Blazers. However, they are not worth the amount the Blazers are paying them. The Blazers could use that money for a player like Kevin Durant or Stephen Curry. That would give the Blazers and the fans of the blazers what they have wanted for SO long... a championship team.
