Trail Blazers' Noah Vonleh: Will start Thursday vs. Magic
Vonleh will draw the start at power forward for Thursday's tilt against the Magic, Mike Richman of the Oregonian reports.
Analysis:
Coach Terry Stotts has opted to roll with Vonleh as his starting power forward next to Jusuf Nurkic now that the team has had more time to practice together after trading away their previous starting center, Mason Plumlee. Over his past 14 contests, Vonleh has averaged 4.2 points and 6.3 rebounds across 18.1 minutes per game, and will likely continue to have a similar role moving forward.
