10 : Portland Trailblazers select Cody Zeller, C, Indiana
There could be a good chance that Zeller could go as high as number 5 to Phoenix. Since his solid workouts at the combine, he has been picking up momentum going into the draft and it is unlikely he falls out of the top 10.
His tremendous athleticism and productivity in college are impressive. The Blazers are set at power forward, but with the dwindling number of power centers in the NBA, a Zeller-LaMarcus Aldridge frontcourt would have enormous offensive potential.
