As we continue on with our Portland Trail Blazers player previews, Brad and Jethro discuss two new offseason additions, Micah Potter and Branden Carlson.
Both bring size and varying levels of shooting. Both will have to work hard to crack the rotation, but each of them have a chance of doing so. Who has the more visible inside track, though? Find out by tuning in!

I’ve been waiting for another PPPP episode
2 swaggy white boys talk about 2 swaggy white boys 😎
I think they will both give excellent effort when they get their opportunity
I would put the following (bench unit) lineup around Potter:
Rob, Potter, sidy, vit, scoot (/jrue for defensive purposes)
So you play big with 4 long and quite switchable players (5 if it's jrue), on Def. you have scoot for playmaking, which vit can also help with, you get spacing from both vit and Potter, which should be quite hard to defend against, and you have scoot and sidy for attacking the rim
Meyers Leonard got drafted same class as Dame and should’ve blossomed as his dream P & R big man instead of being a menace of a COD player 😭
