Trail Blazers mock draft + Portland's history in the draft lottery

It's draft lottery week in the NBA and the Trail Blazers are rooting for ping pong balls.

Before the draft order is finalized on May 17, let's look back at the history of the Blazers in the lottery. How often have they moved up? How often have they fallen back in the order? And who have they selected to get themselves out of the lottery or keep themselves stuck on the outside of the postseason.

We close the show with a mini mock draft, simulating the draft lottery and giving each of the Locked On NBA hosts a chance to make the pick in place of the team they cover. The Trail Blazers stayed in the No. 6 spot and your intrepid host went with Iowa's Keegan Murray. Was this the right selection? And how did Murray end up on the board at six? Listen to find out the full lottery order.
