The Portland Trail Blazers have a major flaw in their roster construction that threatens the success of their rebuild.
Despite a 124-123 win against the Sacramento Kings, the team's shooting from beyond the arc is a concern, with a 27.0% success rate in their home opener.
In their loss to the Golden State Warriors, they shot 33.3% from deep, which is still below league average.
The preseason has shown that the Blazers have managed to get worse in a key area where they were already horrible.
This is not surprising, considering Portland's moves this offseason.
