If you could take away one thing from Neil Olshey’s tenure as the Portland Trail Blazers general manager, it is his affinity for finding diamonds in the rough. Over his time with Portland and previously, the Clippers, Olshey has loved to find players that were previously overlooked.
Players such as Moe Harkless, Shabazz Napier, Seth Curry, and Jusuf Nurkic have all essentially resurrected their careers with Portland. Olshey specifically likes to target high draft picks who for one reason or another, has not found the success of his draft pick.
