This offseason the Portland Trail Blazers looked to change things up by bringing in players with prolific perimeter shooting backgrounds. Through the first 7 games of the season, is that paying off?
The 8-game mark is typically where I make my first round of reactions on a team- it’s roughly 10% of the way through the season so a few things might start to present as some sort of pattern, good or bad. With that, the question I had coming in was; are the additional shooters affording Portland more perimeter opportunities and the harder to answer question- is there more room for Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum to operate because of the additional space created by having more shooters on the floor?
