14. Deyonta Davis

Age: 19
Position: PF/C
School/Country: Michigan State
Height: 6-10.5
Weight: 237 pounds

There are several other rankings that I’ve seen that have young big man Deyonta Davis a bit higher than this. Based on his upside and what he showed flashes of at Michigan State, it’s hard to completely argue with that. However, I have him slightly lower still.

Davis has great size and length in addition to solid skills to go with the physical tools. However, his frame still needs to fill out and mature in regards to strength. Moreover, his entire skill set on both ends need to be refined, which is why I have him just slightly lower than others.

13. Timothe Luwawu

Age: 21
Position: SG/SF
School/Country: Frances
Height: 6-7
Weight: 205 pounds

If there’s a sleeper prospect in the lottery of this draft, my vote goes to Timothe Luwawu out of France being that guy. He’s a player that I absolutely love his game and what he brings to the table playing for one of the European giants in Mega Leks overseas.

Not only has he already shown the ability to fill up the box score playing professionally, but Luwawu also has ridiculous athleticism and solid length on the wing. I think he can make a huge impact almost immediately in the NBA and could be one of the best values in the 2016 NBA Draft.

Next: Nos. 12-11, Valentine, Ellenson
