Travis Outlaw is the starting Small Forward for the Portland Trail Blazers. Entering the 2003 NBA Draft directly out of Starkville High School, Mississippi, the 6'9" forward was a first-round selection (23rd overall) by the Trail Blazers. He has averaged 6.8 points on 45.0% field goal shooting and 2.6 rebounds per game during his four-year career. In the 2005 Vegas Summer League, Travis averaged 18.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in 35.5 minutes. Following the summer league, several teams offered to trade for Travis in exchange for a first-round draft pick. Director of player personnel with the Portland Trail Blazers Kevin Pritchard has said that Travis is "...going to be with us for a long time. I feel comfortable enough to say he's going to be a special player."
