NBA Mock Draft: Blazers Take National Champion Guard

The Portland Trail Blazers have a pair of lottery picks in next month’s draft with the Nos. 7 & 14 overall selections.

Here’s a look at who the team took in CBS Sports’ latest mock draft from Kyle Boone:

No. 7 pick Stephon Castle, UConn

Castle winds up a surprise slipper in this mock, which benefits the Trail Blazers. He’s remained steadfast in his desire to play point at the NBA level after making sacrifices at UConn, but the fit next to Scoot Henderson as a secondary playmaker and defensive stopper makes too much sense and provides too much value.
