Boise State wingChandler Hutchisonpulled out of the 2018NBA Draftcombine yesterday, leading to rampant speculation that he had secured a guarantee from a team drafting between the 20th and 30th positions, removing the need for him to work out in Chicago. ThePortland Trail Blazerswill select 24th in the draft and Hutchison has backdoor connections to All-Star guard Damian Lillard. Despite that, NBCSports Northwest reporter Jason Quick tweets that the Blazers are not the suitors waiting for Hutchison to arrive.
Hearing Blazers are NOT the team that promised Boise State wing Chandler Hutchinson. ESPN reported Hutchinson withdrew from combine and workouts after a team in 20-30 range promised to pick him.
