26. Portland Trail Blazers (via Cleveland Cavaliers)- Isaiah Hartenstein- PF/C- Zalgiris (International)
With the third of three first-round picks, Portland is likely looking for a player they can stash overseas for a few seasons. The Trail Blazers structured their team to win now, and that is tough to do while developing three rookies. Expect at least one to find themselves playing elsewhere in 2017-2018.
Why Isaiah Hartenstein?
Isaiah Hartenstein’s A Royal Prospect Profile
Hartenstein is a work in progress offensively, but has a high motor and works defensively. He played just 3.2 minutes per game last season in Lithuania, so clearly he is a few years away from cracking an NBA rotation. At seven feet tall, he gives you a big bodied athlete to work with and try to develop into a rotational center in the NBA.
