25. Orlando Magic – Bam Adebayo (Kentucky)

The third Wildcat comes off the board with Bam Adebayo being teamed up with his sharpshooting teammate Malik Monk in Orlando. With the Magic going with offense on the wing with their first-pick, they round it out selecting a defensive frontcourt player to complement Aaron Gordon.

The interchangeable front-court pieces of Gordon-Adebayo-Vucevic-Biyombo could make for some interesting configurations for a team that lacks identity.

 26. Portland Trail Blazers – Rodions Kurucs (Latvia)

With their third pick of the first round (assuming they don’t trade it), the Blazers will be looking to stash some talent overseas rather than roster three rookies. They will have several to choose from this late in the first, but Kurucs’ dead-eye three point prowess could be enough to let develop in Spain for a year or two.
