The Blazers need more out of 31-year old shooting guard Jamal Crawford moving forward. He has played in 19 games (0 starts) for the Trailblazers so far this year and he is averaging 24.7 minutes, 13.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. He has really been shooting lousy this year as he has connected on only 35.5% of his shots from the floor and he is 25 for 80 (31.3%) from the three point line. The Blazers need Crawford to pick things up off the bench as they were counting on him to provide instant offense when he hit the court.

27-year old point guard Raymond Felton has had a hard time shooting the ball so far this year for the Trailblazers. He has played in 8 games (all starts) for the Blazers so far this year and he is averaging 33.4 minutes, 10.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 6.8 assist per game. Felton is only shooting 34.8% from the floor so far this year and that is pretty pathetic. He will need to pass the ball more until he fixes his shooting problem in practice.

26-year old shooting guard Brandon Roy is at the crossroads of his career with the Blazers. The Trailblazers are likely going to ask Roy to retire because of his chronic bad knees. But, Roy will likely reject that idea emphatically as he has a lot of money left on his contract. Roy played in only 47 games (23 starts) for the Trailblazers last year and he averaged 27.9 minutes, 12.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. Roy has now played in 321 games (295 starts) in his first five years with the Trailblazers and he is averaging 35.6 minutes, 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Roy isn’t going anywhere, so if the Blazers want to open up some salary cap space, they are going to have to deal someone else.

26-year old shooting guard Brandon Roy has been playing hurt due to bad knees but he’s not helping the team. Roy has played in 3 games so far this April and he is averaging 18.7 minutes, 6.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. He has now played in 44 games (23 starts) for the Trailblazers so far this year and he is averaging 28.3 minutes, 12.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists on only 39.8% shooting from the floor. The Blazers either need Roy to step up or sit down, because he’s not going to help the team the way he’s playing right now.

The Trailblazers will be without starting center Marcus Camby indefinitely as he will have surgery to repair a partial tear of the meniscus in his left knee. Camby has played in 39 games (all starts) for the Trailblazers so far this year and he is averaging 28.7 minutes, 5.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 blocked shots per game. The Blazers are really going to miss Camby because of his defense and hustle. Veteran Joel Przybilla and 2nd year man Dante Cunningham will have to pick up the slack until Camby is ready to return to action. Przybilla started late this season as he was rehabbing from surgery so the Blazers will likely be watching his minutes. Przybilla has played in 16 games (0 starts) for the Blazers so far this year and he is averaging 9.4 minutes, 1.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. Dante Cunningham will likely see the biggest bump in P.T. while Camby is out of action. Cunningham has played in 42 games (3 starts) for the Blazers so far this year and he is averaging 18.6 minutes, 4.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game.
