- P.J. Dozier is a big, playmaking shooting guard with the ability to drive and create for himself and others. That’s potential for the Nuggets to explore and tap into at the next level. He’s a risk due to his injury history, but this is a low-risk spot to draft him at.
- The Washington Wizards have options here, but nothing matters more than finding an ideal backup point guard. Nigel Williams-Goss checks that box as a quality defender who can create for others and shoot the 3-ball. John Wall could get relief here.
- L.J. Peak is a severely underrated player who could fall into the Boston Celtics’ laps here. He’s a 6’5″ shooting guard who can get into the paint and create for others. He’s also an improved shooter who can grow in Brad Stevens’ offense.
- The Phoenix Suns are attempting to build an offensive juggernaut. In order to maintain an ideal level of play once Devin Booker comes off the floor, however, the acquisition of depth will be imperative. Davon Reed is the type of shooter who can provide that.
- The Utah Jazz have been looking for a point guard for quite some time, and Derrick White could be the answer. In the spirit of due diligence, Utah adds another possibility in pure point guard Monte Morris. Morris rarely turns the ball over, shoots efficiently, and defends.
- The search for interior depth continues as the Boston Celtics select floor-spacing big man Kyle Kuzma. Kuzma could go significantly earlier than this, but Boston cashes in here. There’s no telling which players will actually make the main roster, but Kuzma fits the Brad Stevens profile.
- Ognjen Jaramaz is an intriguing point guard prospect. The European playmaker plays with an heir of confidence, and continues to make progress with his skill set. The Brooklyn Nets need a point guard, and Jaramaz is a 6’5″ lead guard with upside to explore.
