High upside here, but Deyonta Davis didn’t show nearly enough at Michigan State to really turn heads. However, he could grow in the Denver frontcourt.
Korkmaz is a definite sleeper in this draft and the Cletics have the luxury of making that type of pick in the mid-first.
There’s a chance that Sabonis could sneak into the lottery as he’s one of my favorite players in the draft with a high basketball IQ. If not, though, I’d love to see him on the Grizzlies as he develops further.
Some may look at him as a tweener, but Prince has the size and athleticism (and even skill) to really make an impact at the NBA level.
DeAndre Bembry is a great talent that was wildly productive at St. Joe’s. I think the Nuggets could use him on the wing and really help him be an asset in the NBA.
Jackson is another player I’m super high on and think that he makes almost too much sense for the Nets now that they’ve traded into the first round.
People are really high on the prospects of Jones. With Al Horford potentially leaving, I like the Hawks to add another frontcourt.
Zizic is one of my favorite international prospects here with great size and solid experience. With holes in the frontcourt, Charlotte would be doing well to add him.
Here’s another center with great potential. Zubac has upside for days and could be an interesting stash for Boston at this position in the draft.
Philly needs backcourt help in a big, big way. Beasley is a player that could provide them just that and I love him going at this position.
Valentine’s exploits in college have been widely noted. Despite injury concerns coming in, he’s a player the Clippers could really make something special of.
Assuming that the Sixers don’t trade for another lottery pick, Murray would be a great addition right here.
This would make so much sense as Johnson could be an upgrade over an aging veteran like Luis Scola in the Toronto frontcourt.
He’s got to go somewhere despite all of the red flags and the Suns again have the luxury of being able to take big risks.
Hernangomez has a ton of potential as a hybrid forward and his versatility just screams “Spurs” to me.
I think it’d be crazy for most teams to take Diallo in the first round. But when it comes to the Warriors, they can make these types of moves in the draft.
Next: Nos. 31-45, Start of Second Round
