Blazers love Hollis-Jefferson, so unclear if they'll be willing to part with him in a deal.

Hollis-Jefferson is a powerful defender and fantastic transition player who averaged 10.9 points and 6.8 rebounds last season for the Wildcats as a sophomore.
He was First Team All-Pac-12 last season, as well as First Team All-Pac-12 All-Defensive last season as one of the premier wing defenders in the nation. He averaged almost a steal and a half a game, as well as one block per game, leading Arizona's strong defensive unit.
Scouts have said that Hollis-Jefferson can guard virtually any position, and he regularly guarded the opposing team's best player, including 2015 1st Round picks Frank Kaminsky, Delon Wright, and Sam Dekker.
