McIntyre: Blazers Take Rivers & Sullinger In 2012 NBA Mock Draft
Jason McIntyreofTheBigLead.comhas the Portland Trail Blazers selecting Duke guard Austin Rivers and Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger inhis first 2012 NBA Mock Draft. ---------------------------------- 6. Portland – Austin Rivers, G, Duke. Do they trade down for a point guard or reach for one? A Rivers/Matthews/Batum trio can score and defend. 11. Portland – Jared Sullinger, PF, Ohio State. I think he could be like DeJuan Blair or maybe Corliss Williamson – solid contributor in the NBA for a long time. Could back up Aldridge, or start alongside him if they can’t get a center. ---------------------------------- -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter
