Portland Trail Blazers In Tears As Their Head Coach Decide On Stepping Down his Career As He Undergoes..

The Portland Trail Blazers most likely boast not one but two lottery picks in the first round of this summer’s impending NBA draft (in addition to their own pick, they also have the top-four-protected draft rights to the Golden State Warriors’ first). The team has a variety of options at its disposal. Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer lays out some intriguing potentialities in a fresh mock.

With their projected No. 7 pick, O’Connor has Portland drafted G League combo forward Ron Holland, whom O’Connor compares to the Sacramento Kings’ Harrison Barnes.

“Dipping back into the G League might be a scary proposition for Portland considering Scoot Henderson’s struggles this season, but Holland would be a solid fit,” O’Connor writes. “He provides hard-nosed defense and some shot-creation upside from the wing position. After closing the Ignite season strong, he shouldn’t be forgotten as a potential top-five selection. And a team like the Blazers can afford to be patient.”
