30) Milwaukee Bucks – Admiral Schofield, PF/SF, Tennessee
Schofield is big, physical, and as a ton of potential on the defensive end of the floor. He has the size to defend opposing bigs while also having the quickness to guard on the perimeter. However, he biggest question about his game is the consistency of his jump shot.

29) Golden State Warriors – Naz Reid, PF/C, LSU
DeMarcus Cousins is already having a lot of success in Golden State but he (likely) won’t be back next year. If the Warriors want to replace him with another big man who can handle the ball, pass, and make threes, they could look at Reid at the end of the first round.

28) San Antonio Spurs (via Toronto Raptors) – Grant Williams, PF, Tennessee
Much like his teammate, Williams is a tweener but could be a great small ball four for someone off the bench at the next level. He’s not as athletic as Schofield but is a better offensive player and better passer. Gregg Popovich would love getting a player with his high basketball IQ.

27) Brooklyn Nets (via Denver Nuggets) – Ayo Dosunmu, PG, Illinois
Dosunmu is a raw, athletic guard with a boatload of potential. The Nets are better than anyone thought they’d be but are still looking to upgrade their depth. That could cause them to take a gamble on someone with Dosunmu’s upside.

26) Indiana Pacers – Talen Horton-Tucker, SG/SF, Iowa State
It would not surprise me if the Pacers opted to look in the direction of either Williams or Schofield but I think they’ll go with Horton-Tucker. The freshman is athletic and strong at 6-4 and 240 pounds with long arms, giving him a good deal of defensive upside.
