NBA Draft 2021: Moses Moody, Chris Duarte among top available players

61. Vrenz Bleijenbergh – Belgium

He’s a big guy who can handle the ball and can shoot a little bit. He needs to get stronger and more athletic. Bleijenbergh is gonna get stashed but in a few years could be a good NBA player.

62. Aj Lawson – South Carolina

I think being in the NBA will be a better situation for him. He needs to put on weight but is a great athlete and a decent shooter. I would draft him and I think he could be an interesting guy down the road.

63. Chris Smith – UCLA

Smith tore his ACL his senior year of college which caused him to miss most of his senior year. He does multiple things well, he can guard multiple positions and can score in different ways. He needs to put weight on, get a little quicker, and prove he can get back healthy but Smith could be a steal for the right team.

64. Mckinley Wright – Colorado

Even though it felt like he was in Colorado for 15 years. He’s a super-smart, tough basketball player who played excellent defense and handled the ball well. He needs to improve his three-point shooting but I wouldn’t be surprised if he hung around due to his IQ and toughness.

65. John Petty – Alabama

Petty is another good shooter and that is his ticket to being in the league. At 22, he is really gonna have to improve his driving ability or defensive ability to stick around.

66. Juhann Begarin – France

Good athlete who is raw and still putting it together. I wouldn’t be surprised if a team drafted him in the 50’s so they could have his rights and then stash him in Europe for a couple of years.

67. Yves Pons – Tennessee

Another freak athlete who might be able to out bench anyone in the draft. He’s a really good defender who needs to improve his shooting and scoring ability. I could see him getting picked higher than most if teams think they can develop him on offense.

68. Matthew Hurt – Duke

Reminds me of Kyle Wiltjer who played for Gonzaga a few years ago and spent some time with the Rockets. He’s a great scorer but is really gonna struggle defensively and needs to improve his footspeed.

69. Sam Hauser – Virginia

He’s an absolutely great shooter who outside of Kispert is probably the best shooter in the draft. He really struggles athletically and defensively though but if he can at least be passable on the defensive end then he will find a place in the league.

70. Matt Coleman – Texas

A good shooter who plays really hard and doesn’t make mistakes. Coleman is an older prospect already at 23 and may not have the athleticism to make it but since he’s so solid fundamentally he will have a shot.
