Tue Jun 24 03:40:00 UTC 2025: **Trail Blazers Eye Wing Help in Upcoming NBA Draft, Mock Drafts Suggest**
**Portland, OR -** With the 2025 NBA Draft just days away, the Portland Trail Blazers are widely expected to target a wing player to bolster their roster, according to a consensus of recent mock drafts. The draft is scheduled for Wednesday, June 25th, at 5 PM Pacific Time.
Several prominent mock drafts predict the Blazers will select Arizona’s Carter Bryant with the 11th overall pick. ESPN’s Jeremy Woo and Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman both highlight Bryant’s appeal, citing his size (6’7″), shooting ability, and defensive versatility. Bryant is seen as a player who could provide immediate perimeter help and contribute to both ends of the court, fitting well alongside current players like Deni Avdija and Toumani Camara. NBA.com’s “consensus mock draft” also leans towards Bryant.
While Bryant is the frontrunner in many projections, other potential targets have emerged. CBS Sports’ Colin Ward-Henninger suggests Maryland center Derik Queen could be an option to pair with Donovan Clingan. Yahoo! Sports’ Kevin O’Conner posits that the Blazers may prioritize shooting and select UConn’s Liam McNeeley, a sharpshooting wing.
NetScouts has the Blazers selecting BYU’s Egor Demin.
Fansided deviates from the consensus, projecting the Blazers will pick Lithuanian guard Kasparas Jakucionis, a playmaker with size and vision.
The Ringer, in their latest mock draft from June 10, has Portland picking Michigan’s Danny Wolf, citing the need for ball-skill connectivity.
The Blazers have been actively working out prospects projected in this range, signaling their intention to select the best available talent. General Manager [insert GM name if known, otherwise leave blank] and the front office will be looking to add a player who can contribute to the team’s long-term rebuild as they continue to build around young talent.
