Portland has turned into a powerhouse for guards. Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum lead one of the highest scoring backcourts in the NBA, allowing Portland to win 49 games last season and be a perennial playoff team. This offseason, the Blazer backcourt expanded, as eight of the eighteen players on the current rosters are guards. The Trail Blazers have a very interesting backcourt this season, and with a relatively weak frontcourt, the guards in Portland will have to carry this team once again to the playoffs.
