75. Aleksandar Vezenkov
Age: 20
Position: SF/PF
School/Country: Cyprus
Height: 6-9
Weight: 225 pounds
Anytime you see a young player getting any kind of minutes for Barcelona, you hve to pay attention and that’s the case with Aleksandar Vezenkov. The big combo-forward has tremendous upside, size, and versatility to go with workable instincts that could make him valuable to some teams.
74. Mathias Lessort
Age: 20
Position: PF/C
School/Country: Martinique
Height: 6-9
Weight: 230 pounds
Here’s another forward playing overseas, but Mathias Lessort is a bit different. As a more traditional big, he’s a tad undersized. Even still, it’s hard to look past 5.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks in only 12.4 minutes per game in France last season. He should get a look this year, but his value could continue to grow.

73. Isaiah Taylor
Age: 21
Position: PG
School/Country: Texas
Height: 6-3
Weight: 168 pounds
Leaving after three years with the Longhorns, Isaiah Taylor had a solid junior campaign at 15.1 points and five assists per game. An inconsistent jumper isn’t a great look for the point guard, but Taylor will get a shot to make a roster in some capacity.
72. Tyrone Wallace
Age: 22
Position: PG
School/Country: California
Height: 6-6
Weight: 198 pounds
This is a player I’m higher on than most and think he should have a better chance at getting selected in the NBA Draft. Wallace showed he’s productive over his tenure with the Golden Bears and showed his value as a teammate by his absence in the NCAA Tournament. He deserves a spot in the NBA, without question.
71. Georges Niang
Age: 23
Position: SF/PF
School/Country: Iowa State
Height: 6-8.5
Weight: 231 pounds
Niang in terms of size and measurable doesn’t jump off the page by any stretch. What does jump off the page, though, is the 20.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game he averaged last season. While his defense is lacking, he could be an offensive weapon potentially in the NBA and might be an option for forward depth in Los Angeles.
