Welcome to Portland.

 

[ehizzy3]

From my favorite ncaa team to Portland!

 

[BlayZa]

Apparently a huge steal!

 

[Scalma]

That a boy Olshey I never doubted you I’m ordering a pizza in your honor.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Kinda like it a lot. Didn’t think he’d be there. Has a Zach Collins vibe with a much bigger pedigree and better strength of competition.

Don’t know that Bilas should be talking about women’s fashions.

But seriously I would’ve taken him in the LOTTERY this is ridiculous and he has a huge chip on his shoulder, perfect fit. Not worried about the shooting, he’s a good enough free throw shooter. Roy Williams is also kind of a dork that doesn’t always utilize his talent

 

[Ed O]

It seems like it's hard not to be excited about this pick... a young big-time prospect at a (THE) position of need. Awesome.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I knew we drafted him before most of you.

(Thank you, wikipedia.)

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Great pick! Excited

 

[BonesJones]

I'M HYPED

About 20 minutes ago when I thought we had a chance I wiki him and found that we share a Bday so all the more sweeter!

Ha. Wiki had him as a Blazer as soon as we were on the clock. Did you catch that?

Couldn’t ask for a better pick honestly. He’s a starter.

Man I love Kanter.

So for those that don't follow NCAA basketball, basically we drafted Gerald Wallace 2.0

Big time athlete and defender. Can't shoot

I assume you are not talking about next year though...right? He needs time just like the other 19 year olds.

Worth posting again-- with Simons

 

[LayneStaley]

STEAL.

 

[LayneStaley]

Nurk/Collins/Little front-court = Defense

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

We are trading the pick.

 

[ehizzy3]

Nurk/Collins/Little front-court = Defense

and a lot of fouls lol, but yeah that lineup will have a lot of defensive potential

 

[BlayZa]

is this the aggressive minded defensive wingman who can slash a bit that ive been asking for?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Nurk/Collins/Little front-court = Defense

Simons/Little/Skal = Repeat

"Every day, Little wakes up at 6:45 a.m. and makes his way to his first training session. He does two workouts with his strength-and-conditioning coach Randy Hadley (one in the morning and one in the evening) that focus on his “conditioning,” “stretching,” “mobility,” and “strength.” He does two on-court workouts with his skills trainer Darryl Hardin (one in the morning and one in the evening) that focus on his “three-point shooting,” “ball-handling,” “shooting off-the-dribble” and more. He’s working on his craft around the clock.

The primary focus of Little’s workouts has been his shooting. This is the aspect of his game he wants to improve the most. During his lone collegiate season, he made just 0.4 threes per game while shooting 26.9 percent from beyond the arc.

After working on this every day for over a month, he seems more confident when he’s shooting. During a private workout that HoopsHype attended, he got hot and made 16 threes in a row at one point. If he can shoot like that in front of NBA teams, that will help his draft stock."https://hoopshype.com/2019/05/10/nba-draft-rumors-nassir-little-unc-carolina-zion-barrett-mock/

After high school, Little decided to attend the University of North Carolina. Back in December, Tar Heels head coach Roy Williams told reporters that Little is the best athlete he’s ever coached: “Nassir’s [athleticism] is explosive. It is quicker. His fast twitch muscles are different.”
