Freshly drafted forward Nassir Little will join Anfernee Simons on the Trail Blazers to form a young duo comprised of Florida natives. Simons, who President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey graciously listed as the most naturally gifted player he has drafted, is eager for Little to arrive.
In a conversation following Thursday’s draft-night festivities, Simons told Blazer’s Edge contributor Steve Dewald that he was anxiously watching Little’s slide down the draft board just like everyone else.
“Everybody said he was a lottery pick,” Simons told Blazer’s Edge.
