The Portland Trail Blazers field two of the NBA’s best guards in Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. When those incomparable starters, the Blazers are reduced to thoughts and prayers. Over the past few seasons, the Blazers have called upon Shabazz Napier, Allen Crabbe, Tim Quarterman, and Tim Frazier to fill the reserve guard gap. None of them have fit the bill for long; none remain with the team.
In the Summer of 2018, Portland motioned formerly-injured Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry to the plate.
