With the 2019 NBA Draft approaching rapidly, fans are starting to get interested into who the Blazers might select. As many of them did not watch much college basketball throughout the season, many do not know who actually has a realistic shot to wear the threads of Rip City next year.
It is first important to understand the Blazers’ needs going into the 2019 offseason. Portland has several key rotation players entering free agency (Seth Curry, Rodney Hood, Jake Layman, Al-Farouq Aminu), and a majority of them are guards and/or wings. When you also take into account the fact that the league is now mainly comprised of creators and 3&D wings, adding more of those to the roster is a low risk, high reward move that makes logical sense.
