NBA Mock Draft 2021: Updated mock draft after combine and key deadline
By William Cash
With Derrick Rose being a free agent this offseason. The Knicks could use some veteran point guard help. I think Dosunmu would be a good fit here. Ayo is a good defender, a floor general, and a has a very nice feel with the basketball. Problem is, Dosunmu is not a great shooter and is something he needs to improve on. I like Dosunmu to the Knicks here as I think New York could use another point guard that could help right away. As former lottery pick, Frank Ntilikina is seeming to not pan out.
Atlanta, I feel could still use a backup point guard as we don’t know the health of Kris Dunn. Mann being here would be ideal for the Hawks because of his elite scoring ability. Mann is a silky smooth shooter and is very shifty with the ball is in hand. Mann’s downside is his lack of defensive fundamentals and taking plays off on defense. But the Hawks could get some nice value here at pick 20.
With the first of two picks and I think they look for a solid player here. Springer is already a good defender and a good spot-up shooter. He is also a good finisher and does not turn the ball over much. The downside is Springer’s lack of athleticism and ability to take defenders off the dribble. But within a system, I think Springer could be very solid within a system.
