The Blazers have been rolling with the veterans so far this season. Forward Dante Cunningham has gotten the most playing time of the rookies so far this year. He has played in 23 games (1 start) for the Blazers this season and he is averaging 10.0 minutes, 3.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. With the recent injury to LaMarcus Aldridge the Blazers have been starting to give some minutes to Jeff Pendergraph who is showing that he can handle the job. He has played in 8 games (2 starts) for the Trailblazers so far this season and he is averaging 18.5 minutes, 4.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game on 64% shooting from the floor. Look for his playing time to continue to increase as long as he keeps playuing well. Point guard Patrick Mills has only played in 1 game for the Blazers working 5 scoreless minutes with 2 assists. Don’t expect much out of him as he is #4 on the Blazers’ depth chart at the point.
