On this week’s episode of the Blazer’s Edge podcast, Tara Bowen-Biggs and Danny Marang take a minute to celebrate the 2018 Summer League champion Portland Trail Blazers, then it’s time to discuss Portland’s rotation players and what dreams, expectations, and potential growth opportunities are there for the Blazers main contributors returning to the team. How much can someone expect a player like CJ McCollum to grow, where is it most likely to happen? How much more does Damian Lillard have to give? Can Jusuf Nurkic be a 20 and 10 guy nightly?
