Scouting Report. Vanderbilt. 12. player. 34. Pick Analysis. 6-foot-6 | F. Aaron Nesmith

Nesmith’s combination of size and shooting touch make him a solid fit anywhere. The Blazers will be trying to win as long as Damian Lillard is on the team, so Nesmith could fit the bill of a guy who helps now and also projects towards the future. Portland was unbelievably short on forwards last season, with Carmelo Anthony being a full-time starter as the worst defender on the floor in most situations.
