PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland Trail Blazers didn’t pull any early surprises in the NBA draft, filling needs with guard Damian Lillard and center Meyers Leonard.
The Blazers took Lillard out of Weber State with the sixth pick before selecting the 7-foot-1 Leonard out of Illinois with the 11th on Thursday night.
It was the first time that Portland had two lottery picks in the draft. The Blazers got the sixth pick in a trade with the Nets at the March deadline for forward Gerald Wallace.
