Nassir Little

He looks like Gerald Wallace with a prettier looking jumper.

The one thing that I see as a huge plus, that hasn't really been mentioned much.... Both of his parents are military. He has grown up in a disciplined culture. I can only assume that he will do whatever is asked of him. He is going to fit in with the team, or do whatever it takes to fit in with the team. I wasn't expecting much from the 25th pick, but I think we scored HUGE....

One thing mentioned in one of the videos posted was was that his HS 3PT shooting was tracked and he shot 38%. He also shoot well from the line as he shot 77% at North Carolina.

He could be a huge steal....eventually. The nagging question I have is why 24 other teams didn't think so. Is it just that he is a project who won't help for a few years?

Just means 24 other teams made mistakes

Don't ask me. I don't have a clue! Lol. I'm liking what I see though.

I think we will thank the other teams for passing up on him!

I can’t wait till Jokic and Bol go up against each other in practice.

Possibly drafting for need instead of BPA in a draft where they felt 10-30 were pretty even?

Rusillo on Sportscenter said Portland had Little as 12th on their board and were shocked he was still there. So as per their evaluations they got a lottery pick in a year they made it to the WCF. Hope he works out as it could be quite the blessing.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Clearly a guy who isn’t afraid of the moment.

 

[LayneStaley]

I think NL just needs motivation, I also think tonight gave him some. I haven’t felt this good about a Portland pick in a very long time.

 

[illmatic99]

Watching these highlights, Crash seems like a great comp. Maybe Shawn Marion.

“I think it’s a blessing in disguise, slipping down to 25," Little said. “Initially, I was kind of confused. But looking at their roster and with how they played in the playoffs, I think it’s actually a good fit for me.”

 

[illmatic99]

More Nas vs Zion. Yo they look the same size.

 

[LayneStaley]

And Crash got us Dame so maybe this is full circle in some sort of really confusing way

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

When talking about the draft and who the Blazers should get Little never came up, because I think me and most other people thought he would be gone long before the Blazers got around to picking. I think he should be their starting 3 next year, he may not be ready, but I think he is better than Harkless.

 

[tlongII]

He should be a smart kid given his GPA. Seems to have a good work ethic too. With his athletic gifts I think we got a crazy steal!

I wish we still had those options.

Who is the last NC player Portland drafted? And yes I know it wasn’t Michael Jordan.

Have we ever drafted someone from UNC? Duke sure. I just saw Mr. Nolan Smith on the bench when I saw a game in Cameron for my first time this December. Sure to bring HIM up!

[Labinot41]

I get what you are saying and I agree about the type of player we need, but regardless of who we picked we needed a two way player at SF. And the wing players in the draft outside the top few, all needed to improve at something. I love what I am hearing about his work ethic.

Yes he seems like a good guy, hopefully he can improve his shooting, than he'll be really really good

Georgetown

Thanks right.
