Kent Bazemore sent from Atlanta to Portland in trade for Evan Turner

The Atlanta Hawks have traded guard/forward Kent Bazemore to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for guard/forward Evan Turner.

What It Means:

Bazemore will have a chance to compete with Moe Harkless for the starting small forward spot in Portland. He is also in line for decent minutes off the bench, if not named the starter, if Rodney Hood leaves in free agency this summer. Bazemore is in the final year of a four-year deal and will earn $19.3M in 2019-20.

Bazemore averaged 11.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game in 2018-19.

Turner averaged 6.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game in 2018-19.

Atlanta

Duke's Cam Reddish headed to Atlanta at No. 10

The Atlanta Hawks selected Cam Reddish from Duke University with the No. 10 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

What It Means:

Reddish is the third Duke player selected, joining Zion Williamson (New Orleans) and RJ Barrett (New York) in being selected. The Hawks' core is incredibly young, and he'll join Trae Young, Kevin Huerter and De'Andre Hunter in Atlanta.

As a freshman at Duke, Reddish averaged 13.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.

Washington

Wizards grab Rui Hachimura at No. 9

The Washington Wizards have selected Gonzaga's Rui Hachimura with the No. 9 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

What It Means:

Hachimura shined at Gonzaga, and despite the concerns of a relatively weak slate of competition, his stats show potential to be a great NBA player.

As a junior at Gonzaga, Hachimura averaged 19.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.

New Orleans

Pelicans select Jaxson Hayes at No. 8

The New Orleans Pelicans have drafted Texas center Jaxson Hayes with the No. 8 selection in the 2019 NBA Draft.

What It Means:

Hayes is the first center off the board, and the Pelicans were able to pick him up despite trading back from No. 4. He'll join Zion Williamson in hoping to reinvigorate the bayou.

As a freshman at Texas, Hayes averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game.

Chicago

Coby White drafted by Chicago at No. 7

The Chicago Bulls have selected North Carolina's Coby White with the No. 7 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

What It Means:

White is the first Tar Hell to be selected thus far, but he's the fourth ACC player off the board. The Bulls are another team with a wide open future, but having White at the facilitator position will help a lot.

Last season as a freshman, White averaged 16.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.
