45. Sacramento Kings (via Charlotte) - Emanuel Sharp
- 2025-26 stats (Houston): 15.5 ppg and 3.0 rpg
Sharp has over 140 games of experience with one of the winningest programs in college basketball, shooting over 38% from deep over four years. Sacramento doesn’t have any clear-cut long-term guards on the roster coming into the draft, so focusing on perimeter players makes sense for all their picks.
46. Orlando Magic - Toibu Lawal
- 2025-26 stats (Virginia Tech): 12.3 ppg and 8.5 rpg
Wendell Carter had a good postseason, but frontcourt depth remains a need for the Magic. Lawal, whose overall game is still growing since he started playing basketball at a later age, is a great athlete and capable interior defender who’ll have an impact as a reserve early on.
47. Phoenix Suns (via Philadelphia) - Tamin Lipsey
- 2025-26 stats (Iowa State): 13.5 ppg and 5.1 apg
Lipsey has 137 career starts at Iowa State as one of the top two-way point guards in the country. That’s a position of need for the Suns, which has been using Collin Gillespie and Grayson Allen as ball-handlers alongside Devin Booker. Allowing him to play a more traditional off-ball role would be helpful for Phoenix.
48. Dallas Mavericks (via Phoenix) - Izaiyah Nelson
- 2025-26 stats (South Florida): 15.9 ppg and 9.6 rpg
Nelson was the American POY and Defensive Player of the Year at South Florida, earning him a real shot at getting drafted. The 6’11 big man gives Dallas needed depth at the five-spot, particularly with Dereck Lively having recurring injury issues, playing just seven games this past season.
