If the Trail Blazers take a center at 11 -- North Carolina's Tyler Zeller is Rip City-bound with that pick in the latest NBA.com mock -- it changes the urgency of getting Freeland signed or him having an impact. Both sides have expressed interest in Freeland coming to the United States after playing for the host country in the London Olympics, but that could depend on what happens Thursday and into free agency next week.
If the Trail Blazers go point guard at 6 with Damian Lillard of Weber State (over Syracuse shooting guard Dion Waiters and Connecticut center Andre Drummond), that addresses the other pressing need. While they would still look at veterans in July, it would be more as complementary, less-expensive additions.
