11. Charlotte Hornets

Isaiah Jackson, PF, Kentucky

The Charlotte Hornets need a big man. That is no secret and it has been the case since last offseason. Whether in the draft or a trade, the Hornets need to find their big man. Isaiah Jackson should be available and could be one of the best fits in the 2021 NBA Draft. During his time at Kentucky, Jackson showed speed in the open floor and explosiveness at the rim. This seems to fit well with a guard like LaMelo Ball who likes to run the floor.

12. San Antonio Spurs

Josh Giddey, SG, Australia

Josh Giddey just seems like a Gregg Popovich player. He is a big prospect with court vision and an elite ability to pass. He has a scoring ability that should work well in the NBA. Giddey has dominated in Australia and is ready to make an impact at this level. The San Antonio Spurs have a system built to develop players and Giddey could fit into the plan.

13. Indiana Pacers

Franz Wagner, SG, Michigan

Franz Wagner has been connected to the Indiana Pacers in many mocks. He is an intriguing prospect because of what he can bring to the table. Wagner has a little bit of everything. He can defend along the perimeter, knock down an open three, run the floor, and has the size to compete at the next level. He was a huge factor on a talented Michigan team a season ago and that should have prepared him a bit for what is next.

14. Golden State Warriors

Corey Kispert, SF, Gonzaga

The fit of Corey Kispert in Golden State seems a bit obvious. He is arguably the best shooter in the 2021 NBA Draft and could join a core of stars that has used the three-point line to win championships. Kispert averaged 18.6 points per game as a senior while shooting 44% from beyond the arc. He would add an immediate spark to the bench of the Warriors and would play some valuable minutes for a team looking to win a championship.

15. Washington Wizards

Jaden Springer, PG, Tennessee

Jaden Springer is one of the youngest prospects in the 2021 NBA Draft. This not said much about the Washington Wizards but this is not the worst place for a young guard to go. Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal are two stars that are good to learn from if you are Springer. He has a high upside because of his ability defending the perimeter and will only improve as a scorer.
