The Portland Trail Blazers have reportedly signed 2016 lottery pick Georgios Papagiannis to a 10-day contract, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

After being drafted 13th overall by the Phoenix Suns and immediately dealt to the Sacramento Kings two drafts ago, the Greek center appeared in just 38 games before being released a month ago.

Papagiannis' agent was infuriated with how the Kings handled his client, accusing Sacramento of being a "very disorganized franchise."

Papagiannis, 20, averaged 2.1 points and 2.3 rebounds in 16 games this season.
