NBA Draft 2020: Mock second round selections with a month to go
By Nick Andre
86. . Forward. Minnesota Timberwolves. Paul Reed. 37. player
Reed is a player who can set the tone for his team. His hustle and tenacity on both ends of the floor are just what the Wizards need.
Reed is a player who thrives on the fastbreak. Playing with an athletic backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal, it’s without question they will feed Reed the ball whenever he’s on the trail. There are so many attributes that Reed brings to this team that results in winning. If he brings his same mentality from college to the NBA, he could potentially be a difference-maker in the Wizards’ culture.
CJ Elleby. 38. player. 27. . Guard. New York Knicks
Elleby is a player that is gifted and determined. A borderline pathetic team in the Knicks could use a player like Elleby’s caliber on the roster.
He could be a key option off the bench in the near future. A player who can put shots in the basket, Elleby’s presence could potentially impact the team looking forward to the future.
Center. New Orleans Pelicans. Udoka Azubuike. 39. player. 69.
If you ask me, New Orleans is a definite playoff team if they draft Azubuike. This is a player who can be a beast in the middle and protect the paint at all costs.
Adding Azubuike to the team could take much pressure off of Zion Williamson. His role would be simple to dominate the glass and protect the paint. The Pelicans are in need of a center that has every attribute of a big. Azubuike could be that guy for the team.
