The Portland Trail Blazers will enter their new season in about a month. As part of our ramp-up to the upcoming year, we\u2019re asking a series of questions about the rotation and your views on its solidity. We\u2019ve covered centers<\/a>, power forwards<\/a>, small forwards<\/a>, and shooting guards<\/a> so far. Today we complete the circuit, looking at potential point guards.<\/p>\n

No position underwent more renovation for the Blazers this summer than point guard. Last year\u2019s rotation consisted of sophomore sensation Scoot Henderson and bench scorer Dalano Banton with the occasional secondary assist by forward Deni Avdija.<\/p>\n

Henderson and Avdija remain large parts of the roster, but to that duo the Blazers have added veteran guards Jrue Holiday and, eventually hopefully, Damian Lillard. Lillard is recovering from injury and may not play this season, but he could become a late arrival and\/or hope for the future.<\/p>\n

Today we want to ask you how solid a rotation of Henderson, Holiday, and a recovering Lillard will be. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being \u201cnobody suits at all at the position; it needs a complete rework\u201d and 10 being \u201cas set as you could imagine, literally stacked to the moon\u201d, how would you rate the Blazers at point?<\/p>\n

Share your rating and the reasoning in the comment section. If possible, tell us what Portland needs to become more solid and\/or stacked at the position. Also share whether you think they\u2019re better or worse provisioned now than they were at this time last year. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Portland Trail Blazers will enter their new season in about a month.
