. Point Guard. Brooklyn Nets. Ayo Dosunmu. 27. player. 147

It is looking more and more likely that free agent guard Spencer Dinwiddie will not return to Brooklyn as a free agent. This gives Brooklyn a hole to fill at the backup point guard slot and I believe they go with the veteran Dosunmu here.

Ayo is an excellent floor general with an amazing ability to get his own shot. He must learn to improve his decision-making but can be a solid contributor for Brooklyn in his rookie season.

Josh Christopher. 26. player. 73. . Shooting Guard. Denver Nuggets

Christopher reminds me a lot of R.J. Hampton who got drafted by Denver last year. Christopher like Hampton is extremely athletic and is a great finisher inside. He has high defensive upside and already averaged one steal a game last year at Arizona State.

Christopher is very raw and will be a project, but Denver has been able to develop raw players very well over the past five years.

. Point Guard. Los Angeles Clippers. Sharife Cooper. 25. player. 77

The Clippers have struggled mightily with bench scoring. Cooper could provide a nice spark off the bench. He can attack the basket very well and has nice vision which makes him a good playmaker. I think the Clippers’ draft pick depends on what happens with Kawhi.

If Kawhi does not resign, this makes the Clippers a potential lottery team. That means that the Clippers would look to draft someone with a higher ceiling.
