NBA Draft 2018: Mock First Round Projections 1.0
18. San Antonio: Robert Williams, C
One of the most successful season in recent memory for the Aggies culminated in a second round upset of the heavily favored North Carolina Tar Heels and a sweet sixteen appearance. Much of their success is a credit to Williams and their physical interior play.
In the NBA, Williams will fit in well because he has the size but can also run the floor. The near seven footer can play defensive in the paint, averaging almost four blocks per 40 minutes of play last season. He is a monster in the middle on defense, and also has the ability to finish at the rim consistently on offense.
17. Milwaukee: Dzanan Musa, SF
With international prospects come uncertainty, and Musa is no different. But for the Bucks, this risk is welcomed. Their team has made strides over the last several seasons and is not far from being a serious contender in the east. Musa would be part of their effort to refine this roster.
The Croatia native is a gifted scorer, his main asset. The Bucks excel defensively and lack a player who can score from anywhere on the floor. This is why Musa is a good fit, even if he spends the majority of his early seasons coming off the bench to provide an offensive spark.
