Several good players will be available when the Portland Trail Blazers select 11th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft tomorrow. We’ve run down several of the candidates over the last few weeks. No consensus has emerged, just a lot of varying opinion about the best rookie to draft.
The oddsmakers at Fanduel are doing the same thing, of course, calculating how the draft order might go for Portland and the 29 other NBA teams participating in the two-day festival. Most of the action involves the topmost picks, but Blazers fans will be interested in the over-under for several key players.
Of note, Maryland center Derik Queen and Illinois guard Kasparas Jakucionis are both riding an over-under of 11.5, right at Portland’s position.
BYU guard Egor Demin, a subject of spirited debate (and in some cases, desire) is lower in the order, with an over-under of 14.5.
Personal favorite Khaman Maluach, a spritely center from Duke, is above Portland’s level with an over-under of 8.5.
Would you be excited about Queen or Jakucionis if they fell to Portland? Given the choice between the two, which would you prefer? Share in the comments section below.
