Through the Portland Trail Blazers first two games, it appears Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum will be playing more minutes together than ever this year. And the superstar tandem appears excited about this prospect.
“When we’re both on the court, there’s problems (for the defense). A lot of problems.”
Jaynes expounded on this sentiment, saying that most teams only roster one guard that can contain a player like Lillard or McCollum – not two. And he is right. Usually, a more defensive-minded guard is paired with a more offensive one (think Marcus Smart in Boston’s rotations).
