The rest of the first round

The Trail Blazers have three first round picks. It makes sense for them to take a stash here. Anzejs Pasecniks is very raw, but the 7-foot-2 center should one day be a player.

27. player. 147. . Forward. Michigan. D.J. Wilson

This pick will be traded to the Lakers. And would be an absolute steal. D.J. Wilson is a strong defender with length and athleticism. His offensive game is coming along, but he had a breakout season last year as a redshirt sophomore.

20. . Small Forward. Kansas State. Wesley Iwundu. 28. player

Wesley Iwundu is a strong defender who can help a team immediately on that end. He has good length and a great body. He was not much of a scorer for the Kansas State Wildcats. But that means he should be ready to accept a role quickly.

France. Mathias Lessort. 29. player. 29. . Center

Mathias Lessort has a ton of length and size as a center. The San Antonio Spurs might have to wait for him. But he is a strong shot blocker and rim protector.

30. player. 118. . Guard. Colorado. Derrick White

Derrick White had a standout year for the Colorado Buffaloes after dominating Divison II. He was a very late bloomer. But he is a good scorer and can manage a game. He may not be able to get all the way to the basket and his place at the guard position is uncertain. But White should be able to contribute quickly for a team like the Utah Jazz.
