NBA Draft 2020: Mock second round selections with a month to go
By Nick Andre
34. . Forward/center. Portland Trail Blazers. Reggie Perry. 46. player
Perry is a tremendous big man with a lot of skill. He was amongst the top players in the SEC a season ago and dominated the paint.
After watching Portland play in the bubble, they are in need of some perimeter defense. He averaged 1.2 blocks a season ago and continued to protect the paint. If the Blazers’ front office wants to make great decisions in the draft, then they grab Perry for rim protection.
Lamar Stevens. 47. player. 18. . Forward. Boston Celtics
Stevens still needs a lot of development in his game. But the important thing is that he is a big man who can protect the basket. Boston is in need of more centers to build in their rotation.
Not having size under the basket was one of the reasons that cost them a trip to an NBA Finals this past season. Drafting Stevens could make a huge difference if he were to be put in Boston’s rotation.
Ashton Hagans. 48. player. 41. . Guard. Golden State Warriors
Hagans is so well at being the floor general on offense. In important stretches of the game, he was trusted with the ball in his hands to make the right play for his teammates.
As the Warriors are seeking a redemption season, Hagans could potentially be apart of an NBA contender early. Steve Kerr has shown to put his trust in young guys to do damage. If everything goes well for Hagans, we could watch him become a valuable option for Golden State.
