29. Cleveland Cavaliers (via San Antonio) - Joshua Jefferson
- 2025-26 stats (Iowa State): 16.4 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 4.8 apg
The 6’8 forward is one of the most versatile players in the draft, capable of playing and guard both forward positions. The three-spot is the biggest area of need for the Cavaliers, and Jefferson fits that for the team, giving them a boost on defense and someone who can also playmake, helping James Harden.
30. Dallas Mavericks (via OKC) - Sergio De Larrea
- 2025-26 stats (Spain): 9.4 ppg and 3.5 apg
De Larrea is a 6’5 ball-handler from overseas with potential as an on and off-ball playmaker. Whether Kyrie Irving sticks around this offseason, he’s not the point guard of the future. The Mavericks can take a swing at the end of the first round with the Spaniard here.
31. New York Knicks (via Washington) - Ryan Conwell
- 2025-26 stats (Louisville): 18.8 ppg and 4.8 rpg
The 6’4 guard had a strong campaign at Louisville, especially when Mikel Brown Jr. was out. The Knicks could use another guard who can create for themselves off the bench whenever Jalen Brunson needs a break. He could be a replacement for Jordan Clarkson off the bench if he doesn’t come back.
32. Memphis Grizzlies (via Indiana) - Meleek Thomas
- 2025-26 stats (Arkansas): 15.6 ppg and 2.5 apg
Thomas flew under the radar, playing next to Darius Acuff at Arkansas. But he had his moments, including 30 points in OT against Missouri. He’s a good shot-maker and has a high ceiling, something Memphis can take a flier on in the second round.
