24-year old power forward LaMarcus Aldridge continues to improve for the Trailblazers. He played in 78 games (all starts) for the Blazers last season and he averaged 37.5 minutes, 17.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Aldridge has now played in 298 games (257 starts) in his 4 years in the NBA and he is averaging 33.4 minutes, 16.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steal per game. The Blazers probably wish that Aldridge would shoot a couple of more times per game and get over 20 points per night. Maybe 2010-11 will be the year that he does that.
