The Portland Trail Blazers signed guard Blake Wesley to round out their 15-man roster for the 2025-26 season. With Anfernee Simons out of the picture and Damian Lillard expected to miss the entire season as he recovers from his Achilles injury, Portland suddenly has very few traditional point guards and overall playmakers on its roster.
Jrue Holiday will fill some of that void, and could even be the Blazers' starting point guard to open the season. Their starting five remains to be seen, with Deni Avdija, Toumani Camara, and Donovan Clingan appearing to be the only "locks". Regardless of what Chauncey Billups decides to do in that aspect, one thing has become apparent: the Blazers will rely on Scoot Henderson and give him an increased role in Year 3.
