80. Ron Baker

Age: 23
Position: SG
School/Country: Wichita State
Height: 6-4
Weight: 212 pounds

Though size may be an issue at shooting guard for Ron Baker, he’s a player with solid athleticism and length as well. Moreover, he showed over his career his ability to shoot and affect the game in a number of ways. It’s doubtful he goes in the NBA Draft, but he’ll be around the D-League, Summer League, and so on.

79. Fred VanVleet

Age: 22
Position: PG
School/Country: Wichita State
Height: 6-1
Weight: 197

VanVleet’s ability to score, facilitate, and defend weren’t made a secret with Wichita State by any means. However, his size is a concern as a small point guard. Even still, he’ll get a shot to make it in the league eventually.

78. Blaz Mesicek

Age: 18
Position: SG
School/Country: Slovenia
Height: 6-6
Weight: 190 pounds

Considering his youth, that Blaz Mesicek has already seen consistent minutes for Olimpija Ljubljana overseas is promising. While he still has plenty of room to improve overall, he has the physical tools to be a nice player at some point.

77. Tim Quarterman

Age: 21
Position: PG/SG
School/Country: LSU
Height: 6-6
Weight: 187 pounds

Considering the lack of success LSU had around a top lottery pick in Ben Simmons, prospects like Tim Quarterman are hard to know what to make of coming into the NBA Draft. However, he has nice size for a combo guard while being a good athlete and, at the very least, having potential.

76. Derrick Jones

Age: 19
Position: SF
School/Country: UNLV
Height: 6-7
Weight: 185 pounds

Derrick Jones’ production in his one year with the Runnin’ Rebels won’t blow you away, but the forward has tremendous length and athleticism (he measured a 42.5-inch max vertical at UNLV) that could make him an intriguing player going forward.

Next: Nos. 75-71
