Aminu balances new role with Blazers and recent fatherhood

Al-Farouq Aminu's year keeps getting better and better. He had his first child earlier this week, and signed the biggest contract of his career a few months ago. 

The adjustment period won't be easy, though. But Aminu's ready for it. Here's what he told The Oregonian's Mike Richman:

Aminu is one of Portland's most versatile players, a wing who can play some power forward, rebound and defend multiple positions. 

If his three-point shot falls this season (he's a career 28.6 percent shooter from downtown), Aminu will transform into one of the league's best bargains.
