Cronin takes over at a crucial time for the Blazers, an offseason when the organization has a top-10 pick, a $21 million trade exception and the ability to extend three of its top players, including All-StarDamian Lillard,Anfernee Simons and Josh Hart.

Cronin's strong relationship with first-year coach Chauncey Billups played a significant part in the franchise's belief that there will be a philosophical alignment moving them forward together in basketball operations.

The Blazers, who finished 27-55, have the sixth-best draft odds to move up to the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. The draft lottery is May 17 in Chicago.
