NBA Draft: Rip City Project gives thoughts on Blazer picks

The Trail Blazers took Zach Collins (10th overall) and Caleb Swanigan (26th overall) in the NBA Draft. Reaction from Blazers fans seems split, and much is the same here at RCP:

I thought the Trail Blazers had a great NBA draft night. I was hoping for a couple salary-dump trades but I trust that Neil Olshey will make some smart moves before next season.

They weren’t going to use all 3 picks so trading two picks to move into the 10 spot was smart. Zach Collins is an excellent pickup; he’s the best center in the draft and was not going to be available at 15.
