65. Troy Williams

Age: 21
Position: SF
School/Country: Indiana
Height: 6-7
Weight: 218 pounds

Troy Williams certainly didn’t live up to the hype with the Hoosiers that he had out of high school, but the potential with him is clear. He’s a solid athlete with decent measurables that does a lot of things well. Though undersized, he could try to carve out a roster spot if he’s not selected in the NBA Draft

64. Zach Auguste

Age: 22
Position: PF
School/Country: Notre Dame
Height: 6-10
Weight: 240 pounds

This is another guy I’m super high on, higher than most even. Though he has average wingspan, hardly any resemblance of offense outside of 10-12 feet, and not a great deal of upside, I love Auguste’s instincts and passion and think the Lakers or any team trying to build culture would love to have a young player of his ilk.

63. Marcus Paige

Age: 22
Position: PG
School/Country: North Carolina
Height: 6-2
Weight: 164 pounds

Marcus Paige showed a bit of surprising athleticism at the combine in addition to good length at point guard. While he may not have been the player many hoped he’d be at North Carolina, the tools are there for him to have a place in the NBA Draft and thus the NBA looking ahead.

62. Prince Ibeh

Age: 22
Position: C
School/Country: Texas
Height: 6-11
Weight: 261 pounds

Considering what he looked like when he got to Texas, Prince Ibeh has made great strides. However, he could still only be on the floor for 18.1 minutes per game as a senior and is still lacking in skill despite his size and length. The upside is obvious, but so is the risk with Ibeh.

61. James Webb III

Age: 22
Position: SF/PF
School/Country: Boise State
Height: 6-9
Weight: 202 pounds

While he might be coming out of a football school in Boise State, James Webb has nice upside without question. He averaged a near double-double as a junior while contributing across the box score. If he’s not selected in the NBA Draft, I’d be baffled and the Lakers would need to jump at the chance to snatch him up.

Next: Nos. 60-56
