NBA Mock Draft: Who Do Blazers Take at 7 & 14?

The Portland Trail Blazers will be scheduled to pick at Nos. 7 & 14 in the NBA Draft tomorrow night, along with a pair of second-round picks.

Here’s a look at who the team took in the lottery of Yahoo! Sports’ latest mock draft from Krysten Peek:

No. 7 pick Cody Williams, Colorado

It doesn’t look like Williams will be there for the Oklahoma City Thunder at No. 12 to play alongside his older brother, Jalen. While Williams didn’t have the year he wanted at Colorado and dealt with injuries all season long, he has tremendous potential (similar to Jaden McDaniels) for a team that can be patient with his development during a rebuild. On the Blazers, he would add some much-needed length on the wing alongside Shaedon Sharpe and Toumani Camara.

No. 14 pick (via Warriors) Tristan da Silva, Colorado

The Colorado forward was one of the best hybrid frontcourt players in the Pac-12 this year. Da Silva can be slotted into the lineup right away and help give some versatility and length to a young Trail Blazers team. Da Silva played well alongside a speedy guard in KJ Simpson, who loved to get downhill and facilitate, similar to Scoot Henderson.
