Blazers have hidden solution at point guard that nobody is talking about

The Portland Trail Blazers have approximately 1.5 point guards on their roster between Scoot Henderson and Jrue Holiday. We thought they'd address the position with their final roster spot, but Portland elected to sign off-ball guard Blake Wesley instead. This move signaled the Blazers' confidence in the ascending Henderson, but they could still use more playmaking help regardless.

One unconventional solution that Chauncey Billups should experiment with is playing Deni Avdija at point guard. He checks all the boxes for a modern-day point guard with his size, ball-handling, speed, court vision, and floor spacing ability.

Avdija is entrenched as the Blazers' go-to option -- the offense should mainly run through him.
