Chris Youngblood

Chris Youngblood took the long road — five college seasons across Kennesaw State, South Florida and Alabama — and made his name doing one thing at a high level: shooting. He drilled better than 39% from three across 150 college games on real volume, the profile of a specialist who can genuinely space the floor. Undrafted in 2025, he earned a two-way with Oklahoma City out of camp, logged 32 mostly brief NBA appearances, and did his real damage in the G League, where he averaged north of 20 a night. The Thunder waived him in February; Portland signed him to a two-way weeks later. The bet on Youngblood is simple and old-school: if the jumper travels, a 6-4 wing who can catch-and-shoot and move off the ball always has a path. He'll need to defend enough to stay on it.
