One of the Blazers' interviews at the NBA Combine: Forward Brian Bowen, whose recruitment by Louisville led to the school firing Rick Pitino. He sat out last year and is debating between attending So. Carolina or going pro.

One thing to note about Blazers' interviews at Combine: Unlike most teams, no basketball personnel is in the meeting. It is just Dana Sinclair, a sports psychologist who has worked for the team for the last decade.

As Quick reported last year, Zach Collins got the analysis treatment as well and found it “funny”.
Also, Miami’s Lonnie Walker is apparently stirring up a storm today.
Miami shooting guard Lonnie Walker just blew away the media with his interview session. Reminds me of how Donovan Mitchell handled himself at last year's combine. Very, very impressive.

Miami shooting guard Lonnie Walker interviewed with Blazers' psychologist, but he will not workout in Portland according to agent Happy Walters because at No. 24 the Blazers are selecting too low for Walker's expected draft position.
