Position : Guard Age : 19 The Rockets rebuild gets a huge jolt with the addition of Jalen Green, giving them a primary scorer who they can run their offence through. Green is a fluid scorer and is set to get plenty of buckets at the NBA level.
Position: Center Age: 19 The Cavaliers added a talented big man to their young core of perimeter players. Mobley possesses an elite two-way skill set, with his polished offensive game giving them scorer in the paint. The Cavs were one of the worst defensive teams in the league last season and Mobley's combination of rim protection, defensive IQ ath...
Position: Forward Age: 19 Branes is an excellent defender operating as a point guard in a forward's body. He's an interesting fit in Toronto with Kyle Lowry's impending free agency, but certainly one for the future for Toronto.
Position: Guard Age: 19 Suggs gives the Magic a playmaker who can push the pace and score in transition. He's an interesting fit for the Magic given their depth of guards in Markelle Fultz, Cole Anthony and R.J. Hampton.
Position : Guard Age: 18 NBA.com's draft expert Kyle Irving says: Giddey is a brilliant playmaker who can create for his teammates in a variety of ways. He's a pick-and-roll maestro with the ability to make quick and smart decisions on tricky passes in tight windows. His smooth ball-handling skills pairs nicely with this aspect of his game.
Position: Wing Age: 18 Kuminga is explosive in the open court. He'll be a ready-made NBA-level defender and lands in a nice spot in Golden State where he can learn from Draymond Green.
Position: Wing Age: 19 Wagner joins his brother Mo with the Orlando Magic. A long-armed versatile defender, that's where his real value is right now. He needs to improve his shooting, but is a great cutter and should help the Magic's rebuild.
Position: Guard Age: 22 One of the best defensive players in college basketball last year. He was the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year and helped Baylor win the National Championship last season. Should help the Kings with their on-ball defending playing alongside De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton.
Position: Wing Age: 19 He didn't have the type of production expected in college and shot the ball poorly, but he has the tools to become a better shooter in the pros and performer with NBA spacing. Coming out of high school he was an expected lottery pick, but a surprising pick to some at No. 10.
Position: Guard Age: 20 When you play with LaMelo Ball, you need shooting and Bouknight can do that. Bouknight can score at all three levels which Charlotte could use. The Hornets have to be happy the guard lasted this long in the draft.
