NBA Mock Draft 2016: Pre-Combine Edition

Marquese Chriss. 15. player. 73. One name that you’ll see relatively high in most mocks but that you might not be too familiar with is that of Washington forward Marquese Chriss. However, you should definitely familiarize yourself with him as he could be a guy that will make an impact right away. <p>In his freshman season with the Huskies in the northwest, Chriss averaged 13.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game and showed a ton of potential. As the Nuggets could use players to play behind Kenneth Faried and alongside the likes of Nikola Jokic or Jusuf Nurkic, Chriss could be a quality option in that regard.</p>. PF. Washington

16. player. 18. Domantas Sabonis is going to be a high quality player in the NBA and there is nothing that anyone can say can convince me of anything to the contrary. He showed time and again throughout his career at Gonzaga that he’s a well-rounded player capable of big things offensively in addition to effective defense and good rebounding. <p>Though the Celtics went with a big man in Dragan Bender with the Nets pick at the start of the lottery, they could use all the quality big men with legitimate size they can get their hands on. With the potential value of Sabonis if it all works out for the legacy of the NBA family, this could be an amazing selection by Boston.</p>. PF/C. Gonzaga. Domantas Sabonis
