13. Miami Heat - Hannes Steinbach
2025-26 stats (Washington): 18.5 ppg and 11.8 rpg
Steinbach is the best scoring center in the NBA Draft, capable of spacing the floor and rebounding at an elite rate. His presence would make Miami's offense easier overall, creating a high-quality frontcourt rotation with Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware.
14. Charlotte Hornets - Karim Lopez
2025-26 stats (New Zealand): 11.9 ppg and 6.1 rpg
As the consensus best international prospect in the class, Lopez is a 6’7 guard who can defend multiple positions, along with being a great transition player. He would give the Hornets the needed perimeter defense and play alongside LaMelo Ball and the other perimeter players in a variety of ways.
15. Chicago Bulls - F Nate Ament
2025-26 stats (Tennessee): 16.7 ppg and 6.3 rpg
The 6’10 forward and former five-star prospect had a number of big scoring outings, but the poor efficiency (40% FG) is a concern. Still, the Bulls look prepared to finally go through a full rebuild, and Ament has the highest ceiling of anyone left in the NBA Draft, making him a good pick to take just outside of the lottery.
16. Memphis Grizzlies (via Phoenix) - Cameron Carr
2025-26 stats (Baylor): 18.9 ppg and 5.8 rpg
Another team going through a full rebuild, Memphis will be looking for some quality scoring talents. Carr, coming off a breakout campaign at Baylor, can play both the two and three-spots alongside Cedric Coward on the perimeter. He’d be an athletic upgrade over some of the current Grizzlies on the roster as well.
