With the 26th pick of the 2017 NBA draft, the Trailblazers select:
Semi Ojeleye, forward out of SMU
The Blazers make another pick after failing to find a trade they liked for one of their three first rounders.
They were shocked to see that Jeanne was still on the board and debated taking him but he's a couple years away at least. They feel they need help now given their bloated payroll and feeling confident that they are a playoff team moving forward with Lillard, McCollum and Nurkic.
Ojeleye gives them a very solid defender and a catch and shoot threat who has simple, clean mechanics and NBA range.
