11. Charlotte Hornets

Isaiah Jackson, PF, Kentucky

The Charlotte Hornets are another team that could go many ways with their selection. If a big man like Isaiah Jackson is available, the Hornets should pull the trigger. They are loaded in the backcourt with LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier, and Devonte Graham. Now, they need to solidify the frontcourt. Jackson is the type of big man that can run the floor well and adapt to a fast-paced offense in Charlotte.

12. San Antonio Spurs

Usman Garuba, PF, Spain

Usman Garuba is a raw prospect coming over from Spain. He did not put up eye-popping numbers but is already one of the best defenders in the draft. Garuba has been all over in mocks but could fit in well with the San Antonio Spurs. Once LaMarcus Aldridge was bought out, the depth down low for the Spurs went away. There are few better coaches in the league than Gregg Popovich and he would know how to develop Garuba.

13. Indiana Pacers

Jalen Johnson, PF, Duke

Jalen Johnson is one of the most interesting players to watch in the draft. During his time at Duke, Johnson showed an impressive jump shot, speed, and ball-handling ability. The problem is, he did it in an abbreviated season before deciding to opt out. If a team is comfortable with his body of work and does not believe there is any issue with his dedication, Johnson could make it worth it.

14. Golden State Warriors

Ayo Dosunmu, SG, Illinois

The Warriors are a team that has won from beyond the arc using a fast-paced style. Ayo Dosunmu returned to Illinois for his junior season and polished his game even further. Mitchell and Dosunmu would give the Warriors a new backcourt coming off the bench. Golden State has been rumored to be interested in trading one, if not both, of its first-round picks but if they keep them, there are plenty of options to improve depth further.

15. Washington Wizards

Franz Wagner, SG, Michigan

The Washington Wizards missed out on point guards but Franz Wagner is the next best thing. He led a Michigan team that played in the best conference in the nation last season in the Big Ten. Wagner can shoot from deep and is going to improve further from deep. Wagner is an NBA-ready defender who can turn into a starter very soon.
