1. (25) Nicolas Batum, F
The Trailblazers acquired forward Nicolas Batum from the Rockets in a trade last night. Batum is only 19 years old but he’s been playing pro ball in France. He has played in 89 games (15 starts) as a pro and he has averaged 7.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. The Blazers generally now what they’re doing when they draft players outside of the United States so you have to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.
