Givony: The Portland Trail Blazers hold the Nos. 34 and 40 picks, giving them significant say in how the first 10 selections play out. After selecting Donovan Clingan No. 7 and trading the No. 14 pick, it's unlikely the team has two, or even one, roster spot available for whoever they pick in Round 2, which will make it interesting to see what they do with these picks. They could use a two-way contract on one of them and possibly trade another.

Woo: After the first night, the Indiana Pacers are still holding all three of their second-rounders — Nos. 36, 49 and 50 — and likely won't use all of them, making them an interesting barometer
