4. Portland Trail Blazers

The Blazers don’t necessarily need a scorer as their guards score the ball well. The Trail Blazers don’t need a project or someone that needs to be groomed for a few seasons. They are a playoff team and need immediate production. All of that spells out the best upperclassmen in the draft, Justin Jackson.

Jackson’s 6-foot-8 frame combined with his ability to play both ways is something that could be added immediately to the Trail Blazers, making him a solid choice for a playoff team.
