Do the Trail Blazers have enough depth at Point Guard?

With the Trail Blazers’ offseason emphasis going toward finding a center, adding a sufficient backup point guard may have been forgotten about. The current roster features only one proven point guard, Damian Lillard. Since arriving in the NBA, he has consistently been near the top of the list in minutes played per game. Given Portland’s playoff aspirations, it may be wise to find a capable backup for their star.

The Trail Blazers currently have 18 players on the roster heading into training camp, so adding a point guard before camp isn’t really an option. Portland’s saving grace will come in the form of versatility.
