One of the bright spots in the first half of the Portland Trail Blazers’ season has been the burst of energy from fourth-year guard Shabazz Napier. Napier is averaging a career-high 9.4 points and 1.3 steals off the bench, and has factored heavily with Damian Lillard sidelined recently.
Napier spoke with Spencer Davies of Basketball Insiders about his improvement and his experience with the Blazers.
Lillard gave Napier strong advice about how to contribute to the team this season.
Just be myself. Just try to be the Shabazz he knows.
