The Portland Trail Blazers backcourt will play a big role in the franchise’s next rise up the standings. Chock full of talent, the current incarnation currently lays claim to Anfernee Simons, Scoot Henderson, and Shaedon Sharpe — three young prospects with a tantalizing range of specialties and skill sets.
All three have started for the Blazers at various stages this season with varying levels of success. Sharpe’s size and length make him more of a wing with his ability to operate off the ball. Unless something dramatic happens, the sophomore athlete will grow into the starting shooting guard spot full time.
