70. Isaiah Cousins

Age: 22
Position: SG
School/Country: Oklahoma
Height: 6-4.5
Weight: 194 pounds

Isaiah Cousins showed solid production throughout his time with the Sooners, but his size continues to limit his NBA future. He’ll get a shot with his production and physical tools, but its possible he goes undrafted due to that size.

69. Kyle Wiltjer

Age: 23
Position: PF
School/Country: Gonzaga
Height: 6-10
Weight: 243 pounds

Based on athleticism and even strength to a degree, I can understand shying away from Kyle Wiltjer. However, with the value of the stretch four in the modern NBA, it’s hard for me to see how the Gonzaga big that shot 43.8 percent from three last year at his size isn’t getting looks from teams like the Lakers who are in need of that skill set.

68. Jarrod Uthoff

Age: 23
Position: SF/PF
School/Country: Iowa
Height: 6-10
Weight: 214 pounds

Jarrod Uthoff’s length and athleticism weren’t overwhelming at the NBA Draft Combine, but he’s yet another player that showed he can be productive over his time at Iowa. He can stretch the floor nicely at his size and should get looks from plenty of teams around the NBA.

67. Sheldon McClellan

Age: 23
Position: SG
School/Country: Miami
Height: 6-6
Weight: 198 pounds

Not only did Sheldon McClellan measure truly to what he’s listed as, but his 41.5-inch max vertical was a great number to see as well. The Miami product can undoubtedly score and I’d be shocked to see him not get the chance to do so in some capacity in the NBA next season.

66. Damion Lee

Age: 23
Position: SF
School/Country: Louisville
Height: 6-6
Weight: 210 pounds

The size here with Lee is the big concern as he’s quite small for the position. Moreover, he showed that his offense can be quite stagnant at times even at the college level. If he can be put into the right system, he could work. However, the wrong system could see him lost in the shuffle.
