Now that we have reached the All-Star break, let’s take another look at the upcoming NBA Draft. A few draft picks have changed hands at the NBA trade deadline, and pick protections are becoming more predictable.
Despite chatter that the Portland Trail Blazers would move their first round pick, they ended up holding onto it, and the front office should be able to add a difference maker late in the first round. There are a few college standouts in the back half of the first round who could contribute from day one.
As for the other teams, this draft contains four potential superstars at the top and tanking teams will be targeting a top four draft slot.
