Portland Trail Blazers
After a complete collapse to close the season, the Trail Blazers are among the teams with the best lottery odds in the league. Though TyTy Washington Jr. likely won’t be selected as high as the Blazers will pick, he could be a nice fit in Portland.
The Trail Blazers have a lot of needs heading into next season. We’ll likely see the team make a trade for a viable partner to Damian Lilliard, but a young guard like Washington could step up in a smaller role.
One of the highlights of the Blazers’ season was the emergence of scoring guard Anfernee Simons. Simons is an explosive and versatile scorer – and could form a dynamic scoring duo off the bench with Washington.
A Trail Blazers fit would likely require more immediate contribution from Washington than a Suns fit. That said, he could be up to the challenge.

TyTy Washington Jr.’s midrange game may prepare him for a high-scoring rookie season, much like Immanuel Quickley, who managed double digit scoring in his first season.
