Trail Blazers NBA draft lottery targets: Tari Eason, Jeremy Sochan & Jalen Duren

Mark Schindler (@MSchindlerNBA) joins the show to talk about NBA draft prospects for the Trail Blazers to target in the lottery.

The show starts with the latest news on which projected first round picks have declared for the draft as Wisconsin's Johnny Davis and Purdue's Jaden Ivey made their plans to head to the NBA official on Thursday.

Then we shift to talking draft philosophy and how to weigh the importance of best player available versus overall fit and role on the roster. Plus, we get into how team context and role as a young player can impact a player's development path in the NBA.

The show closes with the goods: Who should the Trail Blazers target with their likely mid-lottery selections. Mark singles out LSU's Tari Eason as a top option for Portland and we break down his game along with Baylor's Jeremy Sochan and Memphis' Jalen Duren.
