---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 76ers | PF – 6-10 – LSU – Simmons would give the Sixers an elite play-maker. He’d join a young and talented front court while seeing minutes at PG as well. A unique player with superstar potential but the type of player that only works with the right pieces around him. | Magic/Draymond | |
2 | Lakers* | SF – 6-9 – Duke – A sweet shooter with great length but a skinny frame, Ingram is a nice fit on the wing in L.A. He brings unique scoring ability and a versatile game to Luke Walton’s team. | Paul George/KD | |
3 | Celtics* | PG – 6-3 – Providence – Big time talent who can lock it up on D and has explosive offensive ability. Dunn could join a crowded backcourt in Boston or look for this pick to be traded. | longer Eric Bledsoe | |
4 | Suns | PF – 6-10 – Washington – A natural talent with great hops and a smooth jumper. Rising up draft boards after strong workouts. Would fit well in the young Suns line up. | Markieff/Blake | |
5 | T-Wolves* | Jamal Murray | PG – 6-5 – Kentucky – Combo guard who would give the Wolves the best shooter in the draft to help space the floor for KAT. Murray is limited as a defender but has big time scoring ability. | Deron Williams/C.J. |
6 | Pelicans | Dragan Bender | PF – 7-0 – Croatia – Agile big man with a nice perimeter game and exceptional length. Has unique passing ability for a 7-footer and can fill it up from outside. Bender could space the floor for AD. | Pau |
7 | Nuggets* | SF – 6-7 – California – High upside player with great athletic ability, good work ethic but limited skill. Brown would fit well on the wing for the Nuggets. | Harrison Barnes | |
8 | Kings | SG – 6-5 – Oklahoma – A dead-eye three point shooter who can really stretch the defense. Would help space the floor for Boogie but could be a bust like past Kings SGs. | KCP/Brad Beal | |
9 | Raptors* | PF – 7-0 – Kentucky – Highly skilled big man who has a ton of upside but is still figuring out how to put it all together. This would be a swing for the fences type of pick for the Raptors. | softer Myles Turner | |
10 | Bucks | Wade Baldwin | PG – 6-3 – Vanderbilt – A high level athlete with long arms and big time ability. Can play on or off the ball. Fits the Bucks mold of long athletic players. | longer Monta Ellis |
11 | Magic | Jakob Poeltl | C – 7-1 – Utah – A prototypical center who can score in the paint. A boring pick but a good value. Poeltl should have a long, solid career and could surprise to the upside. | Alex Len |
12 | Hawks* | Malachi Richardson | SF – 6-6 – Syracuse – Fast rising prospect who can really score the ball. Would give the Hawks more firepower on the wing. | Willie Burton/Mo Pete |
13 | Suns* | PF – 6-10 – Gonzaga – Son of the legend, Sabonis is highly skilled and fundamentally sound but lacks lift and length. Could be a reach in the lottery but fills a need for the Suns. | Tyler Hansbrough | |
14 | Bulls | Dejounte Murray | PG – 6-5 – Washington – Combo guard who can light it up on the offensive end and has an aggressive style of play. The Bulls youth movement is on. | Larry Hughes |
15 | Nuggets* | SG – 6-7 – Turkey – Talented with the ball and a high level scorer, Korkmaz would give the Nuggets a much needed shooter on the wing. | Kevin Martin | |
16 | Celtics | Deyonta Davis | PF – 6-10 – Michigan State – Projects as a high level shot blocker and defender and shows flashes of offensive talent. | Derrick Favors |
17 | Grizzlies | PF – 6-10 – Marquette – An offensive minded forward who has a nice handle and good looking jumper. If he falls this far it would be a steal for the Griz. | Tom Gugliotta | |
18 | Pistons | SF- 6-6 – Michigan State – A well rounded player who is solid in all aspects of the game. Should carve out a nice role in the League. | higher IQ Evan Turner | |
19 | Nuggets* | SG – 6-5 – Florida State – A smooth and efficient offensive talent who would be a nice addition at SG for the Nuggets. | Allen Crabbe/Eddie Jones | |
20 | Pacers | SF – 6-7 – Baylor – A versatile player who can lock it up on the defensive end and is pro-ready. | DeMarre Carroll | |
21 | Hawks | C – 7-1 – Croatia – Big bodied center with a nice scoring touch. Defends, rebounds and knows how to use his frame. | Tiago Splitter | |
22 | Hornets | PF – 6-11 – Croatia – Fast rising prospect who combines great length with nice scoring ability. Does the dirty work well and projects as a solid role player. | longer David Lee | |
23 | Celtics | SF – 6-6 – St. Joes – Highly skilled, natural scorer with good strength and athleticism but struggles from three point land. | Aaron Afflalo | |
24 | 76ers* | SF – 6-6 – France – Has all the tools and plays both ends of the floor. Raw but full of potential. | Rick Fox | |
25 | Clippers | PF – 6-9 – New Mexico State – A hard-working forward who plays both ends of the floor and has great length. His all around game and versatility make him an intriguing prospect. | Serge Ibaka | |
26 | 76ers* | Patrick McCaw | SG – 6-7 – UNLV – Long guard with a nice looking jumper and solid mid range game. Needs to add strength. | Nick Young |
27 | Raptors | Juan Hernangomez | PF – 6-9 – Spain – Combo forward who can really score. Could climb up draft boards. | stronger Luke Babbit |
28 | Suns* | PF – 6-9 – Providence – Strong combo forward who can score from three levels. | Antoine Walker | |
29 | Spurs | PG – 6-1 – Notre Dame – Supremely athletic PG who can get his own shot and is learning to run an offense. | Darren Collison/Bobby Jackson | |
30 | Warriors | PF – 6-9 – Kansas – Athletic forward with great length and quickness. Plays with a good motor and changes ends in a flash. | Tyrus Thomas |
