last couple of seasons. We've had a number of players look to claim that spot over the years, Steve Blake, Sergio Rodriguez, Jerryd Bayless, Petteri Kopponen, to name a few. And we had another hopeful in Summer League camp in Patty Mills until he went down with an unfortunate foot injury.

They now have Andre Miller and Steve Blake as their primary point guard as opposed to last season when they had Steve Blake and Sergio Rodriguez. The Blazers will definitely benefit from Miller's vocality and leadership both on and off the court and Greg Oden will appreciate his lob passes he loves to throw to his streaking posts.

, they should come out ahead tonight. In particular, Boston needs to pay special attention to Steve Blake and Rudy Fernandez. Both of those guys are snipers and when they play well the Blazers are tough to beat. I'd say the same thing for Travis Outlaw, who has vastly improved the range on his jumper this season, but his offense seems so one dimensional that I think he'll be more easily contained than Blake or Rudy. Seriously, the guy has one move in his repetoire and couldn't dribble drive to the basket to save his life. Outlaw either spots up with a foot on the three-point line or takes two dribbles and pulls up for an 18-footer, end of story. If the Celtics just play him close, keep a hand in his face and don't lose him onbasket cuts when he doesn't have the ball they can completely neutralize him.

s, and generally get his teammates the ball in ideal positions to score.
Though Steve Blake fits into this mold well, Augustin has more upside and his game is more versatile than Blake’s, who is primarily a passer and a spot up shooter who lacks (though he is very fundamentally sound) that instinct and ability to raise the level of his teammates’ play.

en looks at the basket from 20 feet out to the three-point arc. This should help players like Steve Blake and Martell Webster, who are reliable perimeter shooters that are somewhat incapable of creating their own shots. Lastly, Brandon Roy should benefit on offense as opposing defenses will be prevented from helping on his slashing drives. If defending big men commit to stopping Roy, Oden will be open underneath for many easy dunks, however if the big men stay home, Roy has proven that he can score on just about anyone in a one-on-one situation.
