The Portland Trail Blazers have a confusing backcourt logjam that needs to eventually be sorted out. It's far easier to understand the plan behind their frontcourt and why they feel the need to roster four centers. Diminished returns remain an issue, but Portland remains committed to the long-term investment of Hansen despite a shaky rookie campaign. Portland played Hansen 43 games last season, which was likely still more than what they would've preferred. When Portland took that first-round gamble on Hansen, the long-term belief was in a tantalizing ceiling as a potential offensive hub.
