Portland held two picks in the second round so it seems that they elected to move the pick. They also hold No. 40 so they could still grab some talent there.
The Trail Blazers selected center Donovan Clingan in the first round yesterday with the No. 7 pick. He was the favorite target of the front office and they got their guy.
