1. Portland Trailblazers Team Needs: PF/C, more experience off bench Reasons: With Portland struggling so badly this year, there were two key areas which made it so bad: injuries and offense. They got off to a decent start, but a knee injury to Darius Miles (who is surely to be dealt this summer), a thumb injury to Sebastian Telfair and various injuries to different players marred Nate McMillian's first season. With the likely departure of Miles, Joel Przybilla, and possibly even Zach Randolph, the frontcourt will be in dire need of talent. They would like some veteran help, but no matter what, they will draft a 4 or 4/5 type player with their guaranteed Top-4 pick. They draft: LaMarcus Aldridge, PF/C, Texas, Sophomore Why?: Aldridge has the ability to run with Telfair and has the post game of a power forward. In three years, he has the type of body to fill out and become a player at either position and still not lose his ability to get out on the break. He would instantly become the first big man off the bench for McMillian and has the tools to become Portland's main defensive presence. Why not Tyrus Thomas? The Blazers would definitely sell some tickets with him, but he is clearly a few years away from becoming a consistent contributor on both ends of the floor. Aldridge can step in immediately, give Portland some punch on offense, which they desperately need and still has the potential to be the cornerstone of their frontcourt. Andrea Bargnani and Adam Morrison are other options here, but the Blazers will need Przybilla insurance if he decides to bounce (NOK?). http://snipurl.com/qt1v --
