Trail Blazers draft targets + Risers and Fallers in the lead up to the NBA Draft

Rafael Barlowe (@Barlowe500) of Locked On NBA Big Board joins the show to talk about Portland Trail Blazers draft targets and who he likes for Portland at No. 7 and No. 36. At the top of the draft, Rafael likes Duke's AJ Griffin, Iowa's Keegan Murray and Arizona's Bennedict Mathurin as possible targets for Portland with their seventh overall selection. We talk about concerns over Griffin's health and Mathurin's production as a half court scorer, and the potential of Dyson Daniels wearing a Blazers uniform. We also discuss the biggest risers and and fallers during the predraft process following the NBA combine. Plus, Rafael shares a story about meeting Rasheed Wallace and Bonzi Wells. Then get into the art of building an NBA big board, the value of team intel when considering prospects' draft stock and why some late second rounders would rather go the undrafted free agent route as opposed to getting selected with one of the final picks in the draft. And Rafael gives a handful of second round targets that the Blazers could land with their two second round selections. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
