The 2026 NBA Draft, which is approaching quicker than we realize, will be a huge opportunity for the Trail Blazers to add to their already strong young core. Portland should target a guard if they want to make the most of this chance. Finding a backcourt staple would complete their lineup and set them up to finally escape the lottery in 2026-27.
The Blazers already have four players they can feel good about keeping around for the long haul: Deni Avdija, Donovan Clingan, Toumani Camara, and Shaedon Sharpe. Now, they’re just missing one more thing: a point guard.
