TrailblazerAlready having Shaedon Sharp, naturally there is no need to be like Jalen-GreenSuch a player. InDraftBefore,TrailblazerTried out Amen-Thompson, they are very interested in the big point guard. Amen can play both as a shooting guard and as a small forward, and his passing ability is excellent, while also being a solid base on the defensive end.
