The Portland Trail Blazers are in the process of finalizing their roster for the upcoming 2024-2025 NBA season, with guard Devonte' Graham's position in jeopardy. After signing a non-guaranteed contract, Graham faces competition from Dalano Banton, who has a partially guaranteed deal. Graham had a standout season with the Charlotte Hornets but has struggled to maintain consistency in recent years.

Banton, acquired from the Boston Celtics, has shown promise and versatility, averaging impressive stats in his limited games. The competition for the final roster spot may favor the younger Banton, but Graham's experience could still play a crucial role. Both players' performances in the preseason will be vital for their futures with the Blazers.
