1. Nerlens Noel

Noel isn’t in the Detroit Pistons current big man rotation, and they likely won’t pick up his $9.7 million team option for next season.

The 6-foot-10 center has been known for his shot-blocking, athleticism, and rim-running abilities. He has also shown versatility on the defensive end, displaying the agility to guard multiple positions.

He has the potential to give the Blazers the size up front that they are sorely lacking outside of Jusuf Nurkic.
