Blazers’ Lillard Inspires Little to Shoot With Confidence

The NBA’s restart in Orlando will provide new opportunities for Trail Blazers players that were further down the depth chart prior to the coronavirus-induced hiatus. With Trevor Ariza out of the rotation, first-year forward Nassir Little has a legitimate shot at obtaining meaningful minutes.

According to The Athletic’s Jason Quick, Little has focused on improving his outside shooting in hopes of solidifying a place in coach Terry Stotts’ rotation. In a conversation with Quick, Little revealed that he has taken over 10,000 jumpers since play halted in March.
