TUALATIN, Oregon – The Trail Blazers resumed draft workouts Monday with a focus on their second-round picks. The Blazers, who have the 10th and 11th picks of the second round, brought in six players, all but one of whom played four years of college.

The most intriguing player might have been Kyle O’Quinn, who played at Norfolk State and won the Lou Hensen Award given to the nation’s top mid-major player.
