NBA Western Conference: Most important need for each Northwest Division team heading into the NBA Draft

#4 Portland Trail Blazers (Wing and forward depth)

Portland Trail Blazers will be looking to have another go at the conference

Pick held - #25

The Portland Trail Blazers made the Western Conference Finals in the recently concluded season. They had a great run in the playoffs and they have one of the best backcourts in the NBA in the form of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.

The one position where the Blazers lack real depth is at the small forward position. They didn't receive much production from Aminu and Harkless last season and will be looking at different options.

Cameron Johnson who is a lights out three-point shooter can be a great choice for the Portland Trail Blazers.

#5 Denver Nuggets (Wing depth)

Portland Trail Blazers v Denver Nuggets - Game Seven

Picks held - None

The Denver Nuggets finished second in the Western Conference standings. They also reached the Western Conference Semifinals where they lost to the Blazers in seven games.

The Nuggets have a great big man in Nikola Jokic. They also have good depth at the guard position. They should look to add more depth at the wing position.

The Nuggets will have the mid-level exception to work with in free agency, and they obviously don’t have a pick in this year’s draft (they sent their first-rounder to Brooklyn to move Kenneth Faried).
