The more the losing draft, the better it is to play 20+ consecutively, the Blazers this is the treasure?
In today's NBA regular season game, the Portland Trail Blazers, who played at home, defeated the Washington Wizards 127-118, ending their previously embarrassing six-game losing streak. In this game, the Blazers' starting forward Trenton Watford (Trendon Watford) felt hot, he played 38 minutes and 24 seconds, shot 11 of 16, 5 of 5 on the free throw line, had 27 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, plus or minus of +9, stable performance on both ends of the attack and defense, and made a lot of contributions to the team's final victory. It is worth mentioning that 27 points also set a single-game scoring record for Watford's career. It's worth mentioning that this is the fifth consecutive game of the youngster to score in double figures, and in the last two games, his score has even reached 20+.
Watford, who lost the NBA draft this season, signed a two-way contract with the Blazers after losing the draft. At the beginning of the season, he was just a regular bench player on the team, with few opportunities to play, basically focusing on garbage time. But as the season progressed, he was also given the opportunity to enter the rotation as the Blazers were plagued by injuries. Before the trade deadline, the Blazers sent a number of starters to other teams, which also allowed Watford to get a lot of performance opportunities in recent times. Just at the end of last month, the Blazers offered Watford a four-year base salary contract to officially regularize him.
Watford has made a total of 39 appearances for the team so far this season, averaging 5.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 14.9 minutes per game, shooting 53.5 per cent from the field. He is energetic on the court, defensively active, can efficiently complete the basket to eat cake, and even has a certain ability to pass and strategize, if he can develop three-point skills and enhance his ability to fight, he is fully capable of growing into a main level forward swingman.
After all, the Blazers only signed him for 4 years and 5.8 million, as long as he can grow into the team's regular rotation player, the Blazers will make a lot of money.
