6. Sacramento Kings

Emmanuel Mudiay

Point Guard, China

Los Angeles Kings
Darren Collison is the starting point guard for the Kings right now.

7. Denver Nuggets

Justise Winslow

Small Forward, Duke

Denver Nuggets
Nuggets aren’t very good, and rumor has it their two best players are unhappy in Denver (Lawson and Faried). Denver took Gary Harris last year and he pretty much sat the pine under Brian Shaw. He may get his chance with new head coach Mike Malone, but Winslow is too good to pass up on here.

8. Detroit Pistons

Frank Kaminsky

Center, Wisconsin

Detroit Pistons
Head Coach Stan Van Gundy says recently acquired Ersan Ilyasova will be the team’s starter at power forward, but that could just be a short term plan. The Pistons can use a shooter, and Kaminsky’s teammade Sam Dekker is an option, but I think SVG goes with a stretch 4 ala Ryan Anderson and Rashard Lewis. Frank the Tank can open things up for Drummond down low.

9. Charlotte Hornets

Devin Booker

Shooting Guard, Kentucky

Charlotte Hornets
I think Booker is a reach here, but the Hornets need shooting badly, and Kentucky guard fits the build.

10. Miami Heat

10

Myles Turner

Center, Texas

Miami Heat
This pick depends on Dwyane Wade. If Miami thinks he’s gone, they’ll pick Stanley Johnson. Ultimately I feel Wade will be back, and the Heat could use depth up front. Bosh is returning from a medical scare, and I think the verdict is still out on Hassan Whiteside.
