Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups is taking an "earn, not given" approach to his starting lineup this season.
"There's a lot of ways the starting lineup can go. They've got to go earn it," Billups said at media day. "Whoever plays the best is going to be the starters. I'm glad we have the talent and depth. This is new for me."
We're extremely early on in training camp, which started on September 30 for the Blazers. However, if this limited sample size is any indication, Shaedon Sharpe could earn one of those starting spots.
