The chaos of the Transfer Portal has quieted down, and the focus is now shifting to the upcoming NBA Draft. The talent at the top of this class has NBA teams more excited than we've seen in a long time for this class. When the NBA Lottery is completed on Sunday, teams will officially know where they're picking, and the real fun will truly begin.
Oregon Basketball will be quiet for the most part during this NBA Draft cycle which was shown when the Ducks had a down season. The lone Duck that could hear his name called when the NBA Draft takes place is Senior forward Nate Bittle meaning Dana Altman isn't waiting to see if he can return next season.

This season, Nate Bittle was the Ducks leader in points per game, blocks per game, and assists per game averaging 16.8 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 2.6 APG, and 1.8 blocks per game. As the NBA continues to search for bigs who can play on the outside, Bittle's 31.9% shooting percentage from 3 will only help him get drafted.
Landing with the Toronto Raptors would be one of the best outcomes for Nate Bittle considering where he's projected to land. The Raptors have a solid young core, and just made the Playoffs before losing in Game 7 to the Cavaliers.
Scottie Barnes already occupies one of the forward positions while Collin Murray-Boyles looks like a great building block at forward as well. Bittle could come in and instantly compete to play more of a center role behind Jakob Poetl while competing with some of the other players getting less minutes.
