36. Rade Zagorac

Age: 20
Position: SF
School/Country: Serbia
Height: 6-9
Weight: 205 pounds

Mega Leks might as well be the international hub for players in this draft as there a plethora of players are set to possibly come over. One such is forward Rade Zagorac who played a good amount for a 20-year-old in the Adriatic League and showed the length, scoring, and defense needed to be an intriguing NBA prospect.

35. Chinanu Onuaku

Age: 19
Position: C
School/Country: Louisville
Height: 6-10
Weight: 245 pounds

Chinanu Onuaku’s two seasons with Louisville were a bit of an up-and-down affair. On one night he would be able to dominate on both ends of the floor and on another he would almost disappear. Onuaku though has tremendous potential as an athlete with physical gifts, but that inconsistency causes his stock to take a hit.

34. Petr Cornelie

Age: 20
Position: PF
School/Country: France
Height: 6-11
Weight: 220 pounds

If he were just a bit younger and had he seen the floor only slightly more this past season playing with Le Mans in France, Petr Corenlie might be a bit higher in these rankings. However, he’s a forward with great size that can also step out and shoot in addition to rebounding and scoring at the rim. He’s a second-round talent that the Lakers would be wise to examine.

33. Malachi Richardson

Age: 20
Position: SG
School/Country: Syracuse
Height: 6-6
Weight: 200 pounds

At the start of his freshman season with Syracuse, Malachi Richardson was quite honestly bad. However, he came on in the tournament and has been tearing it up in workouts. The potential is there, but I’m not overreacting like some clearly are before the NBA Draft and putting him any higher than this.

Next: Nos. 32-29
