Johnson and Babbitt together in Portland
Armon Johnson was the 35th overall pick (second round) to the Portland Trailblazers just moments ago, and will likely now join Reno native and Wolf Pack teammate Luke Babbitt on the same team in the NBA.
While it was an awkward night for Babbitt and Johnson, who both slipped from various projected spots, plus Babbitt immediately being traded to Portland, the night ends on a great note. For now, they are teammates in Portland one on one of the top young teams in the NBA.
