The Portland Trail Blazers landed themselves the number three pick at last Tuesday’s NBA Draft Lottery. To the joy of Blazers adorers, the team jumped two spots into a position to potentially draft one of two outstanding young prospects in Alabama’s Brandon Miller and G-League Ignite’s Scoot Henderson.
Over the next six weeks, General Manger Joe Cronin will go through the annual rigmarole , working out and interviewing young prospects. But he’ll also be fielding calls from other front offices hoping to snare the sought-after selection.
Post Tuesday’s lottery, Cronin did what he was supposed to do in not ruling out using or moving the pick.
