Nassir Little Could Be a Wildcard for the Trail Blazers

With only a second-round pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers didn’t improve their collection of young talent much this summer. That puts added focus on their former first-round pick, Nassir Little. Ranked as the fifth best high school prospect in the nation during his senior year in high school, Little had a disappointing year at North Carolina and ended up slipping to number 25 in the draft, becoming the third player drafted from his own college. The Blazers ended up selecting Little with the hopes that he could become the player he looked like he would be coming out of high school.
