After a year of absence from the NBA Draft, the Trail Blazers kept busy on Thursday evening to cap-off what president of basketball operations Neil Olshey called "48 really good hours" that began on Wednesday by trading small forward Nic Batum to Charlotte for veteran swingman Gerald Henderson and 2014 lottery pick Noah Vonleh.
The activity accelerated on draft night with the Trail Blazers taking Arizona forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson with the 23rd overall pick. Despite a fashion sense that would make Dr. Jack Ramsey proud, Hollis-Jefferson's time as a Trail Blazer lasted just a little over an hour.
