Portland Trail Blazers: 5 draft prospects that can add frontcourt depth

Ivan Rabb || PF || 20 years old || 6’10”, 215 lbs.

Ivan Rabb is projected by Draft Express to go to the Portland Trail Blazers at 20. In 31 games for Cal, Rabb averaged 14.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks in 32.6 minutes, shooting 48.4 percent from the field.

Long story short: In the age of basketball mixtapes, nearly every basketball player with access to Youtube has heard of Ivan Rabb. Projected as a possible lottery pick his freshman year, he unfortunately dropped down the list after failing to show much growth as a sophomore.

Despite this, teams simply can’t deny that Rabb is a basketball talent worthy of a first round pick. He remains a talented rebounder, evidenced by the fact he averaged a double-double in his sophomore year with Cal. Additionally, scouts are enamored with Rabb’s agility and overall feel for the game.

Rabb also holds a special connection to Damian Lillard being Oakland-natives, and Rabb feels like Lillard would be a “great mentor to have.”
