Steve Blake has signed a three-year contract with the Blazers.  He will compete with Jarrett Jack for the starting job at point guard.  He played in 82 games (42 starts) last season with the Nuggets & Bucks and he averaged 28.2 minutes, 6.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game.  He didn’t shoot too well last season as he hit 41.1% from the floor, 32.2% from three point range and 67.2% from the free throw line.

Over his NBA career Blake has played in 269 games (114 starts) and he has averaged 22.5 minutes, 6.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.  He has shot 40.3% from the floor, 37% from three point range and 77.2% from the free throw line. 

Signing Blake was a good move by the Trailblazers as he is unselfish with the basketball and he’s a good enough shooter to make teams pay if they pack the paint.
