The Portland Trail Blazers will have a big decision to make at the top of the NBA Draft this summer.
Should the Blazers land the top pick, taking Victor Wembanyama will be an easy decision for Portland. But if the team ends up with a pick lower than that, things could get dicey.
As of right now, the Blazers are slated to pick No. 5, and if the team keeps the pick, Yardbarker’s Pat Heery suggests that Portland could take Overtime Elite point guard Ausar Thompson.
While he doesn’t really fit into Damian Lillard’s timeline, if the Blazers select Amen’s brother, Ausar Thompson, they’d have two incredibly athletic wings to build around for the future (along with Shaedon Sharpe).
