Andre Miller expects to overtake Steve Blake as the starting point guard for the Trail Blazers.

Portland signed Miller this offseason.

Miller said that Blake is a "great player," and added that he wants to do what's best for the team. However, the 10-year veteran believes that he deserves the starting job.

"I'm going in there as the starting point guard ? there's nothing else to it," Miller told the Columbian. "I look at it as a challenge. Nothing is handed to you. So I have to go in there with the right attitude, knowing that, this is a point guard spot that is going to have to be battled for."
