The Trail Blazers entered the draft possessing only a single first-round selection. They had traded their second-round pick to the Sacramento Kings in 2020 and eventually held by the Toronto Raptors.[5][6] They used the first-round pick to select Cedric Coward 11th overall, but soon traded him to the Memphis Grizzlies for the 16th pick Yang Hansen and three future draft picks.
