49. Denver Nuggets (via Atlanta) - Kylan Boswell
2025-26 stats (Illinois): 12.3 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 3.0 apg
The 6’2 combo guard is one of the better perimeter defenders in the NBA Draft, which helps make up for the lack of pure shooting Boswell showed in his last two years in an Illini uniform. Denver will need defenders and quality role players next season, and Boswell is someone who can play his position well.
50. Toronto Raptors - Nick Martinelli
2025-26 stats (Northwestern): 23 ppg and 6.2 rpg
The 6’7 forward was in the running for best scorer in the country this past season, shooting 51% from the field and 42% from deep. Martinelli’s offensive skillset should give him a look in the second round, with the Raptors having a need for more offensive firepower, especially a sharpshooter with size.
51. Washington Wizards (via Minnesota) - Zuby Ejiofor
2025-26 stats (St. John’s): 16.3 ppg and 7.3 rpg
Among the other needs with the Wizards is frontcourt depth, especially given Anthony Davis's injury history. One of the better bigs in college was Ejiofor, a 6’9 big man who earned Big East DPOY honors and is a quality rim-runner and interior presence as a potential reserve.
52. Los Angeles Clippers (via Cleveland) - Felix Okpara
2025-26 stats (Tennessee): 8.0 ppg and 6.3 rpg
While they clearly benefited from the Ivica Zubac trade by landing the 5th overall pick, the Clippers still need to replace him in the frontcourt. One option in the second round will be Okpara, a 6’11 center who was an all-league defender in the SEC, capable of blocking shots and providing solid interior defense.
