Blazers' Draft Night Graded Among NBA's Best

Entering the 2017 NBA Draft with the No. 15, 20 (acquired from Denver) and 26 (acquired from Cleveland) picks, the Portland Trail Blazers and president of basketball operations Neil Olshey had plenty of options to bolster their roster for the 2017-18 NBA season. The Blazers made their first splash by swapping the No. 15 and 20 picks with the Sacramento Kings for No. 10 pick Zach Collins of Gonzaga. Portland then held on to the No. 26 pick to select Purdue big man Caleb Swanigan.
