Portland Trail Blazers All-Star-in-waiting Deni Avdija is riding high through the 2025-26 NBA season. 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists per game will bring plenty of notice and praise.

Yang Hansen made headlines the moment the Portland Trail Blazers selected him in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft.
