Ranked three out of five, Nassir Little 25th pick in 2019 NBA Draft

With the 25th pick in the 2019 Draft, the Blazers selected Nassir Little.

Little, out of the University of North Carolina, is a hyper athlete with a plus wingspan and great defensive skills. Even though he hasn’t played a massive role in his first two years, with the 25th pick, he is looking like a steal.

Little took a big jump from year one to year two, and has the size and ability on both ends to probably be a rotation wing.

At six-foot-five with that big wingspan, he can guard multiple positions and has a developing three-point shot. It’s too early to say whether he will be a stud, but considering the record of most 25th picks, this one is looking pretty good.

It will be interesting to see if he is the permanent backup three for this Blazers team in 2022.
