# | Team | Player | Pos | Ht | From | Analysis | Comp | G |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
31 | Grizzlies | Deyonta Davis | PF | 6-10 | Michigan State | A great value at the top of the second round. Davis is super raw and might be a few years away from contributing but he should/could develop into a really solid big man for the Griz. | Derrick Favors | A |
32 | Lakers | Ivica Zubac | C | 7-1 | Croatia | A rock solid center with some upside. Projects as a rotation big with a chance to develop into a starter. Solid pick at this point in the draft. | Tiago Splitter | B+ |
33 | Pelicans | Cheick Diallo | PF | 6-9 | Kansas | A boom or bust type of player who, if he puts it all together, could be an impact player thanks to his hustle and high energy play. | Tyrus Thomas | B+ |
34 | Suns | Tyler Ulis | PG | 5-9 | Kentucky | I’m not sold on Ulis but I love this pick, reuniting him with Booker. Even if Ulis doesn’t contribute on the floor, keeping your young star happy is well worth the selection. | smaller Brevin Knight | A- |
35 | Grizzlies | Rade Zagorac | SF | 6-9 | Serbia | A little early for Zagorac IMO but he goes to a good situation in Memphis. Inconsistent as a shooter but has good form and nice size. | – | B- |
36 | Bucks* | Malcolm Brogden | SG | 6-5 | Virginia | Solid but unspectacular. Brings a steady presence but might not have the skills to get off the bench in the NBA. | – | C+ |
37 | Rockets* | Chinanu Okuaku | PF | 6-10 | Louisville | An upside pick that is well worth the gamble at this point in the draft. | Brian Grant | A |
38 | Warriors | Patrick McCaw | SG | 6-7 | UNLV | More firepower off the bench for the Warriors, McCaw can get buckets and will have a great chance to develop behind some of the best shooters in league history. | smarter Nick Young | A |
39 | Clippers | David Michineau | PG | 6-4 | France | Steady floor general who provides depth behind Paul. Not much upside but could contribute back up minutes | – | B- |
40 | Clippers | Diamond Stone | C | 6-10 | Maryland | He’s raw and immature and will take time to develop but the talent is there. A skilled back to the basket scorer. | almost Al Jefferson | A |
| 41 | Magic | Stephen Zimmerman | C | 7-0 | UNLV | Has the size and skill but plays a soft game. Has a chance to grow into a rotation guy down the line. | Vin Baker, Jason Smith | B+ |
42 | Nets | Isaiah Whitehead | SG | 6-4 | Seton Hall | A bulky guard with a scorers mentality, Whitehead gets to stay home and maybe put a few fans in the seats for the Nets. | Willie Green | |
43 | Rockets* | Zhou Qi | C | 7-2 | China | Why not? If he’s good then the Rockets get a solid contributor in the second round. If he’s bad they still get to build their brand in China. | bigger Charlie Villanueva | A |
44 | Hawks* | Isaia Cordinier | SG | 6-5 | France | I don’t see it with Cordinier. Maybe in a few years he can come battle for a roster spot. | – | C- |
45 | Celtics* | Demetrius Jackson | PG | 6-1 | Notre Dame | Supremely athletic PG who can get his own shot but will he get minutes in a deep Boston back court? Solid value pick. | Darren Collison/Bobby Jackson | B+ |
46 | Mavs* | A.J. Hammons | C | 7-0 | Purdue | Talented but inconsistent, Hammons has the tools to make it in the League if he puts in the effort. | David Harrison | B+ |
47 | Blazers | Jake Layman | SF | 6-8 | Maryland | Athletic wing with broad shoulders and good length but has been slow to develop. | – | C+ |
48 | Bulls* | Paul Zipser | SF | 6-8 | Germany | A tough, fundamentally sound player who doesn’t blow you away with athleticism but could surprise to the upside. Crafty. | Linas Kleiza | B |
49 | Pistons | Michael Gbinjie | SF | 6-7 | Syracuse | Has shown steady improvement and developed a solid all around game. Will earn his living playing D and hitting that 3. | – | B |
50 | Pacers | Georges Niang | SF | 6-7 | Iowa State | He might be too slow to earn big minutes but he’s the type of hard worker, leader and high IQ player that can help a team in many ways. | Ryan Gomes | A |
51 | Celtics* | Ben Bentil | PF | 6-9 | Providence | A good value in the late second round. Has really nice shooting ability and enough length to hold his own defensively. Can really put the ball in the basket. | Antoine Walker | A- |
52 | Jazz* | Joel Bolomboy | PF | 6-9 | Weber State | A nice pick. Bolomboy has the body and athleticism to be a plus defender and could stick around in the League. | poor man’s Thad Young | A- |
53 | Nuggets* | Petr Cornelie | PF | 6-11 | France | Worth a chance for the Nuggets, trying to strike Euro gold again. Maybe a long shot that he’ll have an impact in the NBA. | Joel Freeland | B- |
54 | Cavs | Kahlil Felder | PG | 5-9 | Oakland | A perfect addition to the world champs, a high energy points and assists machine off the bench. I think this pick will actually make the Cavs better, which is saying a lot for a late 2nd round pick. | Isaiah Thomas lite | A+ |
55 | Jazz | Marcus Paige | PG | 6-0 | North Carolina | Doesn’t seem like an NBA player to me but maybe he can earn a roster spot. Undersized, frail with average athleticism and an inconsistent jump shot. | Tyronn Lue | C |
56 | Nuggets* | Daniel Hamilton | SG | 6-7 | UConn | Hamilton has developed very slowly and might not have the skill and ability to have an impact in the NBA. He’s long and quick but unrefined. | – | C+ |
57 | Grizzlies | Wang Zhelin | C | 7-0 | China | A long shot who might need to develop overseas for a few years. | – | C |
58 | Celtics* | Abdel Nader | SF | 6-6 | Iowa State | Another fundamentally sound all around player for the Cs. Buried on a deep roster. | – | C |
59 | Kings | Isaiah Cousins | PG | 6-4 | Oklahoma | Cousins brings a lot of energy and passion to the court and can get after it on D. Wouldn’t be surprised if he carves out a role in the League. | Smush Parker | A |
60 | Jazz* | Tyrone Wallace | PG | 6-5 | California | Rangy athlete with an unorthodox game and a little upside. Needs to stay healthy and gain strength to have a chance. | – | B |
