NBA Draft 2020: Mock second round selections with a month to go
By Nick Andre
93. . Forward. Philadelphia 76ers. Jordan Nwora. 49. player
Another phenomenal shooter for the Sixers could be sensational Jordan Nwora, who is a terrific floor spacer.
Playing alongside guys like Ben Simmons, Nwora is a guy who can get hot in a matter of seconds. He’s terrific at moving without the ball and freeing himself open for good looks. Nwora shot 40% from three-point range last season and was on a tear from beyond. With his versatility on the floor, Nwora could be a big piece for the Sixers’ future moving forward.
player. 125. . Forward. Atlanta Hawks. Tyrique Jones. 50
As the Hawks are gearing up for the future, a key attribute that could be added to the roster is Tyrique Jones.
The trade for Clint Capela was one thing, but Tyrique Jones could complement this team in numerous ways. Jones is an elite rim protector by getting stops around the paint. But he is also a ferocious finisher on offense.
Jones could potentially become a great asset in pick and roll action with Trae Young, which could result in great possessions for the team. Jones could be a missing piece that Atlanta needs moving forward.
Golden State Warriors. Jay Scrubb. 51. player. 41. . Guard
Scrubb is a player who could be an interesting story in the NBA. Managing to dominate in JUCO, Scrubb will have an opportunity to rise even higher if he’s drafted in the NBA.
Scrubb could be a huge piece off the bench for Golden State. He is an elite two guard who can score anywhere on the floor. His energy coming into the game could potentially set the tone for Golden State and can result in great opportunities moving forward.
