16. Boston Celtics |
16 Kelly OubreSmall Forward, Kansas Boston will likely try to trade up for a center, but if they’re unsuccessful Oubre gives them another young versatile athlete. |
17. Milwaukee Bucks |
17 Sam DekkerSmall Forward, Wisconsin Milwaukee could use a big man. With Larry Sanders quitting the game and recently trading Ilyasova a big makes sense, but there’s also the impending free agency of Kris Middleton. Dekker is just too good to pass up here. Played at Wisconsin, Middleton insurance, as well as insurance for a returning Jabari Parker. |
18. Houston Rockets (from New Orleans Pelicans) |
18 Tyus JonesPoint Guard, Duke Rockets really need depth at point guard. The injury to Patrick Beverley hurt more than most would have thought. Jones means no more Jason Terry starting at point guard if Beverley goes down. |
19. Washington Wizards |
19 Kevon LooneyPower Forward, UCLA Nene is too inconsistent these days. Looney gives Wiz some young legs at the power forward position. |
20. Toronto Raptors |
20 Rondae Hollis-JeffersonSmall Forward, Arizona Should fill in well at the small forward position. Upgrade over Terrence Ross. |
