Nassir Little, the newest addition to the Trail Blazers, spoke to the Portland media on Monday morning. Neil Olshey sat next to the 19-year-old and introduced him before opening the floor up to questions. The team nabbed Little with the #25th pick in Thursday night’s draft.
Most draft experts consider Little a steal at #25. This time last year, Little had the pedigree of a top-5 lottery pick after winning MVP of the McDonald’s and Jordan Brand Classic All-Star Games. Little came off the bench in his lone season at UNC, and his lackluster campaign dampened draft projections.
