Blazers' Roster Problem
The Portland Trail Blazers have a significant flaw in their roster construction, threatening their rebuild's success. Despite a 124-123 preseason win against the Sacramento Kings, the team's poor three-point shooting is a concern.
Portland shot 10-of-37 (27.0%) from beyond the arc in their home opener and 16-of-48 (33.3%) in their loss to the Golden State Warriors. This is well below the league average, and the team's performance has worsened from last season's 34.2% and the previous season's 34.5%.
The Blazers have managed to get worse in a key area where they were already horrible.
The preseason has highlighted the Blazers' struggles with three-point shooting, which is not surprising given their offseason moves.
