ANALYSIS
After going undrafted out of Kentucky in 2020, Hagans was picked up by the Timberwolves that season and appeared in only two NBA games as a rookie. Since then, the Kentucky product has bounced around in the G League, most recently suiting up for 30 games (four starts) with the Greensboro Swarm last season while averaging 6.8 points, 4.5 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 21.1 minutes. Though Hagans sustained a right ankle avulsion fracture last March, his signing with the Trail Blazers likely indicates that he'll be fully cleared ahead of training camp. He'll be competing for one of the Trail Blazers' three two-way slots.
