No. 15 Portland Trail Blazers- Jarrett Allen (Texas, FR, Center)

Jarrett Allen is raw and not fundamentally sound, but the size, the length and the appealing potential are all there. Allen has great offensive instincts around the rim, has tremendous rebounding skills and an NBA body (6-11, 235, 7’4 wingspan) that will peak any team’s interest far earlier than probably deserving.

Portland has an array of big men, but besides the bright future of Jusuf Nurkic, the rotation is a big question mark.

If given time to develop and learn the speed of the game, and the big man could end up being a nice back up center in the league.
