The NBA Draft Lottery is 15 days away and most experts agree that this year’s draft is a deep and talented one.  The Blazers will know where they pick May 30th.  They could also pick up the New Jersey Nets pick if it falls outside the top 3.  It is well documented that the Blazers still need a permanent General Manager and a new head coach.  Fans would like to see the team have both in place before the NBA Draft in late June.

Blazers TV Analyst Mike Rice, outspoken and opinionated, joined Brian Berger this afternoon. Rice added his thoughts to the NBA Playoffs and what he thinks the Blazers need to do with the draft.
