Predictions:
First Round:
- Atlanta Hawks select Alexandre Sarr (7’1 Center/Forward, France)
- Washington Wizards select Zaccharie Risacher (6’9 Forward, France)
- Houston Rockets select Ron Holland (6’6 Forward, G-League Ignite)
- San Antonio Spurs select Nikola Topic (6’6 Guard, Serbia)
- Detroit Pistons select Matas Buzelis (6’10 Forward, G-League Ignite)
- Charlotte Hornets select Reed Sheppard (6’3 Guard, Kentucky)
- Portland Trail Blazers select Donovan Clingan (7’2 Center, UConn)
- San Antonio Spurs select Cody Williams (6’8 Forward, Colorado)
- Memphis Grizzlies select Stephon Castle (6’6 Guard, UConn)
- Utah Jazz select Robert Dillingham (6’3 Guard, Kentucky)
DISCLAIMER:
Robert Dillingham easily could end up as the best player in this draft, and possibly could be selected with picks 2-4, but for the sake of fit and questionable size from an NBA scout’s view, I could unfortunately see a world where he would drop to number 10 assuming the order doesn’t change (which makes me sick)
