Jabari Walker: ‘We Have a Great Young Core’
The inexperienced Portland Trail Blazers team was unable to defeat the underdeveloped Denver Nuggets team on Saturday evening, losing 114-111. Following the match, sophomore forward Jabari Walker spoke with reporters while in the team’s dressing room.
Despite fielding a lineup with five rookie players for the first time in franchise history, the team showed great performance.
Walker came in as a substitute and had a strong and highly effective performance, scoring 15 points (on 6-7 shooting), getting nine rebounds, and making a steal.
The Portland Trail Blazers embark on a lengthy journey, starting with their first match against the Houston Rockets on Monday at 5:00 p.m. PDT.

I believe that we gave our best and fulfilled all the requirements. Despite our lack of experience, we compensated with our determination. Our coach told us that we lost on our own terms, but we were up against a strong team.
We can hold our heads high with that. We can be very optimistic. Not just for the current situation, but for the future. We have some talented guys, we have guys with the right mindset. And it just gives us nothing but confidence and joy to know that we have a great young core.
