Al-Farouq Aminu goes 0-for-6 from deep in season debut

Al-Farouq Aminu scored five points on just 1-for-10 shooting from the field during the Blazers' season-opening win against the Lakers on Thursday. Aminu added six rebounds and a steal in 28 minutes of action.

Fantasy Impact:

Despite seeing more minutes than any Blazer not named Dame or CJ, Aminu was completely unable to get anything going on the offensive end as LA-Bron stifled the Nigerian at every turn. Going 1-for-10 from the field and laying a goose egg from deep won't usually get a guy 28 minutes on the floor : Aminu's defending of LeBron (who scored 27 points) is what kept him out there. And Aminu did a solid job, it's just too bad you don't get fantasy points for a solid defensive stop that doesn't end in a block or a steal.
