Trail Blazers News: 2 Sharpshooting Forwards Mocked to Portland

[BlazersGirl]

The Portland Trail Blazers, armed with a pair of picks in next month's 2024 NBA Draft, have a variety of intriguing options from which to select. A fresh mock draft courtesy of Ben Couch of NBA.com predicts two solid shooting forwards will be selected by Portland general manager Joe Cronin, which makes sense given that that's the area most in need of help among the team's overall youth movement, loaded with guards and centers. 6-foot-8 G League Ignite forward Matas Buzelis has been mocked to the Trail Blazers with the No. 7 pick. "Big forward with a shooting touch that escaped him in a single season playing for Ignite," Couch writes in his assessment of Buzelis and his fit.
