The NBA draft is always good for plenty of surprises. And there was no shortage of surprises and movement in Wednesday night's first round.
The Portland Trail Blazers caught the NBA world off guard when they took Chinese player Hansen Yang with the No. 16 pick, just outside of lottery range. The center was technically taken by the Memphis Grizzlies, but will land in Portland via trade. The Blazers traded their initial pick (No. 11) to the Grizzlies, who used the pick to take Washington State's Cedric Coward. Portland acquired No. 16 in the deal, which they used to take Yang.
