45. Sacramento Kings (via Charlotte) - Lamar Wilkerson
2025-26 stats (Indiana): 20.9 ppg and 3.5 rpg
Wilkerson has already proven that his scoring can translate from the mid-major to the high-major level, and the NBA is the next step. The former Hoosier star can create his own shot and is a safer option for a rebuilding team like the Kings to take to add more offense.
46. Orlando Magic - Otega Oweh
2025-26 stats (Kentucky): 18.6 ppg and 4.8 rpg
The Magic will be looking for offense with its long pick in the NBA Draft, someone who can create their own offense to help out Paolo Banchero. Oweh became a quality individual scorer in his two years at Kentucky, one of the best players in the SEC. If he can improve his three-point shot, Oweh will carve out a role in the NBA.
47. Phoenix Suns (via Philadelphia) - Tamin Lipsey
2025-26 stats (Iowa State): 13.5 ppg and 5.1 apg
The 6’1 ball-handler is a three-time All-Big 12 and all-league defender for the Cyclones, known for being one of the best point guards in the country. PG has remained a position of need for the franchise, so their lone pick in the NBA Draft going to one of the best remaining makes sense.
48. Dallas Mavericks (via Phoenix) - Izaiyah Nelson
2025-26 stats (South Florida): 15.9 ppg and 9.6 rpg
The 6’10 big man was a breakout star in his final year with the Bulls, earning American POY and DPOY honors. Nelson is a good defender and a big body that the Mavs can use for depth behind the often-injured Derrick Lively.
