NBA Draft 2021: Moses Moody, Chris Duarte among top available players
11. Franz Wagner – Michigan
Wagner is a really good defender who at his size can dribble and pass. I am betting on him being a decent shooter which is a big question.
12. Corey Kispert – Gonzaga
Kispert is a lights-out shooter who is also a great cutter and is always in the right spot in his off-ball defense. He needs to get his feet quicker but he will be able to play in the league for 13 years or so because of his shooting ability and IQ.
13. Chris Duarte – Oregon
He is currently 24 so that makes him a really old prospect but he does everything well. He can shoot, drive it and defend. He should be able to play right away.
14. Jared Butler – Baylor
Was the 2nd best player on a title team. He’s really skilled and smart, I don’t see a way where he isn’t at least a rotation player.
15. Usman Garuba – Spain
A really good defender who can guard multiple positions, currently playing for Spain’s National team. Has trouble scoring though.
16. Miles McBride – West Virginia
A great defender who can really create his own shot better distributor than people give him credit for.
17. Jalen Johnson – Duke
Johnson was a high recruit out of High School who had an up and down season until he opted out of college basketball in the middle of February. As a big, he is a really good ball handler and passer but his draft range is all over the place due to leaving the team while at Duke and not knowing how his scoring ability translates.18. Trey Murphy
Murphy is another guy who has really shot up draft boards. He is a prototypical 3 and D guy who shot the ball really well at Virginia who also is good defensively on and off the ball.
18. Ziaire Williams – Stanford
Was in a rough situation at Stanford last year. Had some great moments, good passer and ball-handler at his size. I Have to shoot it better.
19. Jaden Springer – Tennessee
Great athlete who had times was very good, he could be a really nice player if he is a three-point shooter.
20. Cam Thomas – LSU
Thomas is one of the best pure scorers in the draft but needs to get better at everything else on the court. Because of his scoring ability, he should be a nice bench scorer.
