NBA Draft 2019: Surprise No. 1 overall pick in latest mock draft

15) Detroit Pistons – Brandon Clarke, PF/C, Gonzaga
Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin aren’t going anywhere but neither is a real shot blocker. With no great wing options available here, look for Detroit to go with Clarke, an uber athletic rim protector with an expanding offensive game.

14) Boston Celtics (via Sacramento Kings) – Nassir Little, SF/PF, North Carolina
Little has been one of this season’s biggest disappointments. He has been slow to pick up on UNC’s defensive rotations and can be a black hole on offense. But the flashes of brilliance he shows demonstrate why he was the No. 2 recruit in the country. Simply put, Little’s physical tools allow him to do things very few others can do. Boston would gladly take him and allow for Brad Stevens to develop him.

13) Boston Celtics (via Memphis Grizzlies) – Romeo Langford, SG, Indiana
A bit of a safer pick for the Celtics, Langford has an extremely high basketball IQ and is a smooth scorer. He has struggled shooting from deep and isn’t a great athlete but has become a leader for Indiana and knows how to fill it up.

12) Utah Jazz – De’Andre Hunter, SF/PF, Virginia
Utah has found success with experienced college players and has made their identity on the defensive end. Hunter fits both of those molds and is still expanding his offensive game.

11) Atlanta Hawks (via Dallas Mavericks) – Jarrett Culver, SG, Texas Tech
The Hawks made clear last year that they’re working on becoming a perimeter-oriented team modeled after the Warriors. Culver has shown this year he can knock down the three with regularity and score in a multitude of ways. He’d also give the Hawks another needed perimeter defender.
