18. Wade Baldwin

Age: 20
Position: PG
School/Country: Vanderbilt
Height: 6-4
Weight: 202 pounds

Wade Baldwin showed throughout his two seasons with the Commodores that he’s capable of doing a lot from the point guard position. As a sophomore, averages of 14.1 points, four rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game with solid shooting marks was a great look.

However, Baldwin’s stock rose even further at the combine as he was able to show off above-average athleticism and crazy length to go with solid size for his position. The Vanderbilt product has the potential to be a two-way threat and he could make some teams quite happy to have on their roster in the end.

17. Furkan Korkmaz

Age: 18
Position: SG
School/Country: Turkey
Height: 6-7
Weight: 185 pounds

Furkan Korkmaz is one of the younger prospects in the draft and is one of the most intriguing as well as divisive. The Turkish wing has showed in limited roles with Anadolu Efes over his time there that he can shoot the ball and do other things well. However, that’s not the only reason you have to look at him as a first-round prospect for the 2016 NBA Draft.

The 18-year-old has a great deal of length for someone his age in addition to getting pro experience at a young age. Subsequently, the upside in addition to his already apparent skills make him a coveted commodity in the mid first.
