"He's the glue," McCollum said of Aminu. "He's awesome. He does a lot of the dirty work, doesn't get a lot of credit. He rebounds, he plays defense, he switches on the centers, he makes corner threes for us. If we can get him to play like that all season, we'll be special." He's been my favorite player in the league since midway through last season. I love when he plays well.
He's an important part to the Blazers' defense, he can guard any position. He just needs to embrace that role of being a high energy defensive specialist. I think Collins will eventually step into this role though, but he'll be better 3pt shooter and passer.
He's a 3 and D AND a stretch 4 in one player! Both he and Ed are having real bounce-back seasons. Well, 2 games in, at least.
