11. Charlotte Hornets
Josh Giddey, SG, Australia
The Charlotte Hornets have had success drafting players out of the NBL. Last year it was LaMelo Ball and this year it could be Josh Giddey. He can do it all on the floor. In the NBL last season, Giddey averaged 11 points, seven rebounds, and 6.9 assists. He is an offensive dynamo that can make plays at a high rate. At 6-foot-8, Giddey would bring another dynamic to an offense that is already exciting in Charlotte. This is a chance to add an intriguing piece next to Ball for years to come.

12. San Antonio Spurs
James Bouknight, PG, UConn
This is where the NBA Draft begins to become a bit interesting. It begins with the question mark that is James Bouknight. He is another player that can get taken anywhere in the first round. Bouknight showed leadership as a member of the Huskies. He can finish in traffic and create his own shot when he wants. These are important skills for a guard in the NBA. San Antonio is set up well in the backcourt with Dejounte Murray and this is a chance to add more depth.
13. Indiana Pacers
Franz Wagner, SF, Michigan
Franz Wagner was arguably the best player on an elite Michigan team last year. His basketball IQ makes him an intriguing prospect in this class. Wagner is a 6-foot-8 wing that can take and make a big shot. He will continue to become more consistent on both ends of the floor. Wagner is already a polished defender and that is what the Indiana Pacers could be drawn to. There is a lot to like about Wagner moving forward.
14. Golden State Warriors
Corey Kispert, SF, Gonzaga
This seems like a match. Golden State added an older prospect in Mitchell early and they could land another in Corey Kispert. He spent four years at one of the most successful programs in the country. He is a winning player and one of the best shooters in the draft. Kispert is not just a catch-and-shoot threat. He can put the ball on the floor and use his big frame to finish with contact. Kispert has a chance to be a productive player in the league for a long time and that could begin as a depth piece for the Warriors.
15. Washington Wizards
Chris Duarte, PG, Oregon
Chris Duarte is a name that you will continue to see climbing up boards. The Washington Wizards need some players that can shoot effectively and make plays. It is unknown if Washington will sell in the offseason. If they do, Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal will be sent away. Duarte led Oregon with 17.1 point per game last season. Despite his age at 23, Duarte should be taken in the first round and could go as high as the lottery.
