Last week, I went to Chicago for the draft lottery and predraft combine. The Trail Blazers came away with the No. 7 overall pick as well as the Warriors’ No. 14 pick. They also hold two second-rounders, No. 34 and No. 40 overall. Over the next five weeks, they will start bringing players to Portland for in-person workouts at their practice facility, which we will cover, and that will lead into the draft in late June.
This in-between period, now that we know the lottery order but there’s still some time before anything happens, feels like a good time to do another round of mailbag questions. Same deal as usual: if you’re a paid subscriber, you can leave a comment below with your question and I’ll get to as many of them as I can next week.
As usual, great response from all of you. I'm closing comments now because I have enough to work with. The next one we do will likely be mid-July after Summer League, when the offseason is fully settled. Thanks, everyone.
Is #7 too early for Salaun?
