Holdahl: Blazers G Damian Lillard Lists Favorite Players In 2013 NBA Draft Class

Blazersedge — Casey Holdahl of Blazers.com has the transcript of an interview on Blazers Courtside in which Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard laid out his favorite players in the 2013 Draft class.

He's a four-year player, a four-year college athlete, graduated from school, he's about 6-3 and a half, he can score the ball, he can also make plays.

NBA Draft Combine: Intriguing Prospects for Clippers

Clips Nation — The 2013 NBA Draft Combine in Chicago came to a close this past afternoon. Last year some of the winners of the combine were Damian Lillard, Terrence Ross, and Thomas Robinson.

The likely top overall pick, Kentucky's Nerlens Noel, tore his left ACL on February 12th against Florida. The top overall pick back in 2000, Kenyon Martin, broke his right fibula and also to...
