Portland Trail Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers are another good candidate for Calderon if they decide to go for it all this season. Portland is another top defensive team that can make up for Calderon’s lack of defense, currently ranked the eighth best defensive team, allowing 97.4 points per game by an opponent. Steve Blake is the lone ball handler on the Blazers’ bench unit, and while average at three-point shooting at 33.3%, would never be mistaken for the sharpshooter that is Calderon.
