23. Portland Trail Blazers – Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Arizona

The Shimmy Shake is Northwest bound. Portland is heading towards a blowup with trading away Nicolas Batum and LaMarcus Aldridge likely gone, so it looks like the Blazers are looking to add defense. They started with bringing in Gerald Henderson from Charlotte and now with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.

RHJ isn’t a great offensive player, but he’s a Draymond Green-like defender. He can guard just about any position on the court. He’s a versatile player with great value at this position. The offense can come, but you have to be able to stop guys from scoring to win and with Portland changing things up, RHJ is a great get for the Blazers, even if it does mean their frontcourt will remain non-existent for now.

Grade: B+
