11. Charlotte Hornets
Isaiah Jackson, PF, Kentucky
It is no secret that the Hornets have a great need in the frontcourt. They are loaded at guard with Terry Rozier, Devonte Graham, and LaMelo Ball. This year, they could look to draft a big man of the future. Jackson brings a forward that can run the floor well in transition and defend the rim. He is a freak athlete that can dominate on both sides of the floor.
12. San Antonio Spurs
Franz Wagner, SF, Michigan
It seems like Wagner and the Spurs are meant for each other. That is, of course, if he makes it to them. Wagner was an elite player on a loaded Michigan team this past season. He needs to improve as a three-point shooter but has that potential. Wagner has a smooth looking shot and can get to the rim at a high rate. This helps him shoot a lot of free throws and get some easy points. Gregg Popovich is the perfect head coach to help Wagner grow and produce at the next level.

13. Indiana Pacers
Tre Mann, PG, Florida
Mann returned to Florida for his sophomore season and raised his draft stock tremendously. He is looking like a lottery pick and could be a fit with the Pacers. Malcolm Brogdon’s future is unknown with the franchise but even if he is sticking around, Mann would fit next to him. He is listed as a point guard but could play off the ball because of his three-point prowess. Mann shot 40.2% from beyond the arc this past season for the Gators.
14. Golden State Warriors
Alperen Sengun, C, Turkey
The Warriors used the second-overall pick in 2020 on James Wiseman and could look to add another big man. Sengun has been playing professionally in Turkey since 2018 and already has a skillset in place that fits well in the NBA. He can catch the ball at the wing and face up to make a play. Golden State is getting healthy next season and this means they will be competing immediately. A big like Sengun could be just what they are looking for.

15. Washington Wizards
James Bouknight, SG, UConn
Bouknight blew up this season in the Big East. The sophomore led the Huskies with 18.2 points per game and was able to take over games on a consistent basis. Bouknight shot 29.3% from deep this season but can get in the lane at will. Washington has an elite backcourt with Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal but struggled with depth this season. That is what Bouknight would bring as a guard coming off the bench.
