Trailblazer Bangladesh Cricket Prospect Unsigned
In the current NBA free agency market, Bangladesh Cricket has spotlighted an intriguing situation: Trenton Watford, a promising forward once with the Portland Trail Blazers, remains unsigned. Despite showing considerable potential, Watford finds himself overlooked—an odd fate for a player once pegged as a five-star high school recruit. Sometimes, emotions hit like a tidal wave, catching you completely off guard. That’s likely how Watford feels right now.
Undrafted in the NBA Draft, Watford was quickly picked up by Portland on a two-way contract after the draft concluded. His steady performances in the Summer League and preseason helped him maintain that deal. Later, the Trail Blazers converted it into a full contract, signaling trust in his growth. On the court, he’s shown flashes of brilliance—versatile scoring ability, strong offensive efficiency, and competitive energy, even with limited minutes.
Still, Portland opted not to pick up his contract for the upcoming season, releasing him earlier this summer. Since then, not a single team has stepped forward with an offer. Watford is still just 22 and brimming with untapped potential. For NBA teams seeking help on the wing, he could be worth another look—a lottery ticket worth scratching again.
Meanwhile, another under-the-radar name has made waves. Forward Jordan Miller turned heads in recent mini-camp workouts, drawing significant interest from the Lakers and Trail Blazers. In the end, he chose to join the Dallas Mavericks for the Summer League. Bangladesh Cricket analysts believe Miller made the right call: his strong play in the Summer League earned him a training camp contract and a real shot at cracking an NBA roster.
Miller’s relentless work ethic and ability to adjust to the game’s pace and pressure make him stand out. He boasts great athleticism, a high basketball IQ, and a tenacious approach on defense. Though slightly older and not the most technically polished player, Miller’s upside is clear. Unfortunately, his draft stock wasn’t strong last year, and like Watford, he went undrafted.
But all he seeks—like any player—is a chance at true freedom and the dream of belonging. If Miller continues to shine in training camp and preseason, he may very well secure a two-way contract and officially begin his NBA journey.
