Chris Youngblood tallied 20 points (5-of-11 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Timberwolves.
Signed to a two-way contract in March, Youngblood’s place on the Trail Blazers’ roster is relatively secure. He was excellent on Monday, leading six Portland players in double figures with 20 points and shooting 3-of-7 from beyond the arc. Unfortunately for Youngblood, Portland’s perimeter depth will make it challenging for him to get the opportunities needed to move from his two-way deal to a standard contract. He may be worth stashing in deep dynasty leagues, but that’s it.
