The Portland Trail Blazers recently held a predraft workout featuring three promising prospects, including Maryland forward Derik Queen, who was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year after averaging 16.5 points and 9 rebounds per game. Queen helped lead the Terrapins to the Sweet 16, showcasing his scoring efficiency at 52.6% shooting. Also participating were BYU point guard Egor Demin, a Big 12 All-Freshman selection, and Cholet Basket forward Noah Penda, who displayed solid stats in the French League.

With only the 11th pick in the upcoming draft, the Blazers are evaluating multiple candidates, having previously hosted talents like Liam McNeeley from Duke and Asa Newell from Georgia. As the draft approaches, the Blazers' choices will be pivotal in building a competitive roster for next season.
