Corey Kispert. 15. player. 142. . Small Forward. Washington Wizards

I think Washington is still in win-now mode and Kispert is the best guy in the draft to help with that. As his ceiling is low, his floor is high. Kispert is an excellent shooter and can hit from anywhere on the court.

He is also a good defender with an excellent basketball IQ and rarely turns the ball over. Kispert will be an excellent three and D player that can contribute on day 1. This is something that Washington could use to help space the floor for Russell Westbrook.

Golden State Warriors. Jalen Johnson . 14. player. 41. . Power Forward

Johnson who was heavily criticized after he left Duke midway through the season to prepare for the draft, is a very raw player. He needs to work on his shooting mechanics and his decision-making. There are also major questions about his character. But Golden State gets a guy here who has a very high ceiling towards the end of the lottery. Johnson has all the talent in the world and how good he wants to be up is up to him.

Indiana Pacers. Alperen Sengun. 13. player. 100. . Center

The Turkish native is an old-school big man who is a good rebounder and has an excellent post-game. He is a smart passer and a good defender. He will have to develop a jump-shot, but the potential is there with him shooting 80% from the free-throw line.

While Sengun is undersized, he has the potential to be a very solid player on both sides of the floor.
