Looking these guys up, I was hoping that if they were projected early second round, indicating Blazers might be trying to obtain a pick there. Almanza seems to be the only one projected there, although Mgbako was once considered a possible lotto pick before they realized he wasn't that good. the rest of the guys might go undrafted. Here is a little about Almanza, who is almost 20, 6'10", 211 lbs. Almansa is an incredibly productive and efficient player who might not be the flashiest player around but really gets it done on the court. He’s an interior focused big man who loves to mix it up in the paint, plays with a lot of energy and effort and contributes in all aspects of the game. Almansa has great hands, catching everything thrown his way and doing a great job of securing rebounds. He also has a really good feel for cutting and getting himself into position for layups, post scoring and positioning for rebounds. Has a natural feel for the game. Moves very well up and down the court and is an overall plus athlete with agility, coordination and bounce. Expanding his shooting range will be key to his success at the NBA level.
