5 best back court tandem in the NBA right now

#2 Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, Portland Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard & CJ McCollum, Portland Trail Blazers.

Lillard and McCollum would rank higher on this list if it wasn’t for their lack of two-way play. What seemed like a streak, in the beginning, has developed into consistent performances. They are an elite offensive backcourt tandem that would cause damage to any team. Their offensive prowess allows them to fit in each other’s role seamlessly thereby allowing a free-flowing production from them.

Despite their lacking in size, these two might be the most frightening duo to defenders with their soaring ability to knock down big shots beyond reproach.

If they make positive defensive strides, there will be no limit to their abilities. With season averages of 50 points per game and the addition of Jusuf Nurkic, the only way is up for the Trailblazers in the unforgiving Western Conference.
