Rondae Hollis-Jefferson to sign with Portland Trail Blazers

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is returning to where his NBA career started. Sort of.

The former Arizona Wildcats forward has signed with the Portland Trail Blazers, who drafted him with the 23rd overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft before dealing him to the Brooklyn Nets on draft day.

The Portland Trail Blazers are planning to sign forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Hollis-Jefferson spent training camp with the Timberwolves.

Hollis-Jefferson should be able to help a Blazers team that is dynamic offensively but ranks 29th (of 30) in the league in defensive rating.
