1. (11) Jerryd Bayless, PG
The Trailblazers just couldn’t resist making a trade with the Pacers to get the player they wanted in the draft all along. Jerryd Bayless will likely be the perfect running mate in the backcourt for Brandon Roy. He is 6′3″, 200 pounds so he will be able to post up some smaller guards and he’s very fast with the ball. He’s not a pure point guard however as he likes to get his points too. Bayless played in 30 games (all starts) in his freshman year at Arizona and he averaged 19.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. Watch out for the Blazers this coming up season.
