Portland acquired Morant from Memphis in an offseason trade that sent Jerami Grant and Kris Murray to the Grizzlies. He's still finding his place alongside Deni Avdija and Damian Lillard, and it may take a couple of weeks for his role to crystallize.

    Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Could start year off bench

    Ja Morant could come off the bench for Portland to begin the season, per Casey Holdahl of the Portland Trail Blazers' official site.With Portland's backcourt fit already a talking point after Morant's arrival, a reserve role would be a notable shift for a player who has made just two appearances off the bench in his seven-year career. The Trail Blazers acquired the star guard with an eye toward him meshing with the returning Damian Lillard in the backcourt, but it sounds like the team is mulling over the idea of easing Morant into the mix. Jrue Holiday appears to be the most likely candidate to open the year as a starter if Portland ultimately decides to deploy Morant from the second unit.
