The Portland Trail Blazers roster is set so it's about that time we start thinking about the competition for playing time and what spots will be up for grabs when training camp opens in September.
With four starting spots solidified the last big question is who starts at small forward. Is Nassir Little the clear favorite? What about Josh Hart or Gary Payton II?
Is Justise Winslow the backup power forward or could Trendon Watford earn that spot ahead of the veteran?
And what does the team do about backup center minutes? They want to play small but can they really get away with that every single night?
