26. Denver Nuggets

Ziaire Williams, SG, Stanford

Ziaire Williams is another player that is difficult to predict in this draft. He has a chance to be a special player but could also fall in the draft. It would actually benefit Williams by going to a contending team. He was a one-and-done player coming into Stanford and solidified that notion with his play. Williams is a wing that can get it done in many ways.

27. Brooklyn Nets

Chris Duarte, PG, Oregon

Chris Duarte is one of the fastest-rising prospects in this draft. He could sneak into the top 15 if a team likes him or he could fall to a team like the Brooklyn Nets. Spencer Dinwiddie is not going to be on the roster next season and Kyrie Irving has struggled with injuries. This is a move for the Nets to add some depth at point guard. Duarte finished in the top 20 in terms of three-point shooting this past season for Oregon.

28. Philadelphia 76ers

Miles McBride, PG, West Virginia

The Philadelphia 76ers have a decision to make regarding Ben Simmons this offseason after a horrendous postseason performance. This is where a prospect like Miles McBride comes into play. He is a reliable shooter and a strong on-ball defender. McBride shot 42.4% form the three-point line and 81.3% from the foul line this past season with West Virginia. A point guard that shoots the ball could be a refreshing addition for Philadelphia.

29. Phoenix Suns

Trey Murphy III, SG, Virginia

Trey Murphy III spent two years at Rice before transferring to Virginia for his junior year. It was a flawless transition. Murphy fit in well with the defensive skill of Virginia while giving them a consistent shooter on the perimeter. Murphy shot 43.3% from deep and would give the Suns another reliable contributor off the bench moving forward.

30. Utah Jazz

Usman Garuba, PF, Spain

The Utah Jazz have one of the best defenders in the league in Rudy Gobert and he could have a young player to take under his wing. Usman Garuba is a raw offensive talent with plenty of room to grow but he is ready to contribute defensively. Garuba can guard many positions and this is valuable for a contending team. Garuba would give them an option off the bench behind Gobert.
