The Blazers have some of the most active Twitter handles, and much was the same on NBA Draft night.

Blazers players were very active on NBA Draft night, which is expected.

Evan Turner routinely roasts people when he’s not getting buckets.

Damian Lillard is always showing love to fans (and haters); he also promotes his music and community work, too.

Jusuf Nurkić hasn’t been a part of Blazers Twitter for very long, but he’s made the most of it. You get a glimpse into the world of Nurk practically every day by just following him. Often, they’re posts about him working out or motivational quotes, and who can’t get enough of that?

C.J. McCollum may be the most participatory of the group, though. He often hosts Q&A’s while waiting for a flight or during some free time in the day. And, recently, he’s added lobbying for NBA stars to his Twitter feed. From Kristaps Porzingis to Paul George, McCollum is doing his best recruiting.

Let’s check in and see what Blazers Twitter was up to on draft day:
