Final Regular-Season Grades for Each Portland Trail Blazers Player in 2013

LaMarcus Aldridge, the Blazers' only All-Star, once again was a constant threat at the power forward spot. This season, the biggest adjustment for Aldridge was the presence of Damian Lillard as a new leader for this team. Aldridge has done a great job allowing Lillard to play his game and take control of the team.

A nice area of improvement for Aldridge was his rebounding. As a team, the Blazers struggled without a true center, finishing 24th overall in rebounding. Individually, Aldridge had his best season rebounding, averaging a career-high 9.1 rebounds per game.

For the Blazers to make the playoffs next season, they need Aldridge to get even better. With Lillard as a huge offensive weapon in the backcourt, Aldridge should benefit from getting less defensive attention.
