6. Damian Lillard & CJ McCollum
One of the best back-court combos in the NBA.
Dame and CJ led the Blazers to their first Conference Finals last season since 2000. This combo offers a lot of offense and plenty of shooting. Last season Lillard averaged 25.8 points per game and 6.9 assists per game on 44% shooting and 37% shooting from 3pt land. CJ averaged 21 points per game last season on 46% shooting and 37% shooting from 3 as well.
This duo has been carrying the Trail Blazers offense for the last couple of seasons but can be a liability defensively at times. It’ll be exciting to see how far the Blazers can go this season with the addition of Hassan Whiteside.
Now things start to get interesting…
