13. Miami Heat - Labaron Philon
- 2025-26 stats (Alabama): 22 ppg and 5.0 apg
This could be the pick most likely to be traded between now and the draft, with Miami and Milwaukee in talks regarding Antetokounmpo. Yet whether it’s Miami or Milwaukee taking the pick, both would make sense for Philon. He’s an explosive lead guard who can put the ball in the basket, something both respective backcourts could use at the end of the lottery.
14. Charlotte Hornets - Dailyn Swain
- 2025-26 stats (Texas): 17.3 ppg, 7.5 rpg, and 3.6 apg
There’s been talk that Miles Bridges may not be with the franchise long term. If that’s the case, Swain, who can do it all on the wings, would be a nice replacement option. Although not the greatest shooter, Swain would benefit from playing alongside LaMelo Ball on offense and could be an upgrade on defense over Bridges.
15. Chicago Bulls (via Portland) - Hannes Steinbach
- 2025-26 stats (Washington): 18.5 ppg and 11.8 rpg
Chicago had traded Nikola Vucevic at the deadline, so a rebuilt frontcourt is the likely move for the franchise. Having already drafted Caleb Wilson at No. 4, Steinbach, a quality scoring and rebounding big man, should have an immediate impact in the frontcourt.
16. Memphis Grizzlies (via Phoenix) - Ebuka Okorie
- 2025-26 stats (Stanford): 23.2 ppg and 3.6 apg
The 6’2 guard was a prolific scorer as a freshman at Stanford, despite not playing with much talent. That would change at Memphis, playing with Cameron Boozer and Cedric Coward. With Ja Morant’s status uncertain, it makes sense for the Grizzlies to look for a lead guard candidate who can score.
