No. 6-10

6) New York Knicks – Bol Bol, C, Oregon
Want to experiment with a team of unicorns? New York might with Bol, who with an athletic 7-2 big man with range extending out to the three-point line. Could you imagine him and Kristaps Porzingis on the court together? The Knicks would have an exciting duo unlike any we’ve ever seen.

7) Atlanta Hawks (via Dallas Mavericks) – Romeo Langford, SG/SF, Indiana
 Atlanta’s quest for three-point shooting would likely lead them to Langford at this spot. Langford might be the best shooter in this freshman class and would form an exciting perimeter trio with Trae Young and Kevin Huerter.

8) Orlando Magic – Darius Garland, PG, Vanderbilt
This draft class does not have many good point guard options but, for a team like Orlando that needs help in the backcourt, a player like Garland (who is just as good of a scorer as he is a playmaker) could be appealing.

9) Sacramento Kings – Keldon Johnson, SG/SF, Kentucky
The Kings have their backcourt set and several talented big men but need help at the small forward position. Johnson can play either spot on the wing and is the kind of scorer that would make him tough for the Kings to pass on.

10) Memphis Grizzlies – De’Andre Hunter, SF/PF, Virginia
Hunter is the star of Virginia’s attack and is their best defender. Memphis needs to get younger and more athletic, both of which Hunter would provide while fitting into their Grit-&-Grind style.
