#7: Portland Trail Blazers select Matas Buzelis 

The Trail Blazers need more depth on the wing, especially if they end up trading Jerami Grant and Malclom Brogdon to get younger, which has been widely speculated already. 

Buzelis gives them a potential two-way wing with size, though his shooting was not great this season in the G-League. 

Buzelis is a nice fit with Henderson, Simons and Sharpe and would give the Blazers a solid young core to build around.
