With a hint of deception becoming of a veteran guard, Malcolm Brogdon is going to get to his spots on a basketball court. After advancing the ball up the floor in his first game with the Portland Trail Blazers, Brogdon fakes a dribble hand-off at the top of the key then carves straight to the hoop for a finger roll. Brogdon racked up 20 points and five assists in his first game with the new squad on October 25, 2023.

A formidable presence wherever he goes, Deandre Ayton changes the dynamic of the Portland Trail Blazers. Defending his own man in a halfcourt set, Ayton tracks an entry feed into the post, shifts patiently from the help-side and pulverizes a layup. In addition to the rim protection, Ayton hauled in 12 rebounds and collected three steals in his October 25, 2023 debut.

A rim-running dunk threat since the day he set foot in the league, expect more of the same from Robert Williams III now that he’s a member of the Portland Trail Blazers. In his debut with his new squad, Williams III rolls seamlessly into the paint, corrals a pass from teammate Shaedon Sharpe and throws down a two-handed slam through contact. Williams III finished with 10 points, seven rebounds and three steals in the October 25, 2023 matchup.

A man of many moves, CJ McCollum's combination of crossovers can confuse even the best defenders: just when you think it's over, you get pulled back in! Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke does his best job to keep up before CJ finishes the job with a shot fake into a pirouette mid-range J.

Confident shooters aren’t afraid to let it fly. After hauling in a rebound on one end of the floor in his NBA debut, Portland Trail Blazers rookie Toumani Camara trails his team down the court, shuffles into position beyond the arc and buries a wide-open lefty triple. Camara finished with seven points, two rebounds and a block in his first game on October 25, 2023.

Expect Jabari Walker to do what it takes when out on the hardwood, even if that means leaping into traffic to blow up an open court dunk. Identifying a streaking Gradey Dick as his Portland Trail Blazers retreat on defense, Walker shuffles into position and deflects the would-be poster off the glass in the final seconds of the third. Walker finished the October 30, 2023 contest with four points, six boards and a pair of steals.

While all shots inside the arc are worth the same, Anfernee Simons earned infinite style points on top of his layup. The fifth-year Portland Trail Blazers guard pushed the tempo following a Brooklyn Nets turnover and evaded Yuta Watanabe with a highlight-reel behind-the-back dribble that propelled him toward the basket before finishing with a contested and-1 running layup. Simons — who went on to average a career-best 21.1 points per game — contributed 24 points, two assists, two steals and four 3-pointers on November 17, 2022.

Jabari Walker was so pumped to hit the floor in his NBA debut that he decided to race the entire length of it. Once the 57th overall selection snares a defensive rebound he is off and running, traversing the court and hitting the Denver Nuggets defense with a behind-the-back move to gain entry to the lane before finishing with a runner in the paint. Walker had a busy first four professional minutes, making his only shot for two points while adding two rebounds and an assist in the 135-110 Portland Trail Blazers triumph on October 24, 2022.

Despite not suiting up during his lone college campaign last season, Shaedon Sharpe was more than ready for his NBA debut. The Portland Trail Blazers’ prized rookie shows no evidence of rust against the Sacramento Kings, casually shaking off his defender and draining a corner triple off an inbound pass. Sharpe made a major impact in just 16 minutes off the bench, scoring 12 points — shooting 3-for-3 on three-pointers — and adding two rebounds in a 115-108 win on October 19, 2022.

You know what time it is when that clock ticks down in the postseason. Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard pushes the rock up the court in the final seconds of an already mesmerizing overtime performance, moves to take his defender off the dribble, then spins back out to the three-point line to force a second extra frame. Lillard put his fingerprints all over the history books in Game 5 of his squad’s Round 1 battle with the Denver Nuggets, finishing with a practically mythical 55 points, 10 dimes and a record-setting 12 three-pointers in the June 1, 2021 contest.

An electric package of athleticism and offense, Scoot Henderson is well-equipped to take the reins of the Portland Trail Blazers’ new backcourt. The No. 3 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft flashes a sign of the production to come with a quick-release – and borderline untouchable – floater for the first basket of his NBA career. Henderson finished his October 25, 2023 debut with 11 points and four assists.

Drew Eubanks did what few NBA players are able to accomplish — get the best of Rudy Gobert in the paint. Thanks to a helpful assist from Damian Lillard, the Portland Trail Blazers reserve forward catches it on the block and soars high into the air for a ferocious dunk over the three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Eubanks made all five of his shots for 10 points while also adding an assist and a block in 20 minutes off the bench in Portland’s 124-118 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on December 10, 2022.
