Suns trade first round pick to Portland

06.28.2006

New York, NY (Basketball News) - The Phoenix Suns drafted Spanish point guard Sergio Rodriguez with the 27th pick in the first round of the NBA Draft and promptly traded him to the Portland Trail Blazers for cash considerations.

The 20-year-old Rodriguez spent the past two seasons playing with Adecco Estudiantes Madrid in the Spanish ACB, averaging 9.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 23.3 minutes a game.

Rodriguez is the third player obtained in the draft this year for Portland. The Trail Blazers also acquired Texas forward LaMarcus Aldridge in a trade with Chicago and Washington’s Brandon Roy in a trade with the Timberwolves.
