17. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Philly) - Amari Allen
2025-26 stats (Alabama): 11.4 ppg and 6.9 rpg
Allen flew under the radar as a freshman at Alabama but proved to be a valuable defender and rebounder. With Jaylen Williams having dealt with injury issues, Allen is a high-ceiling prospect that the Thunder could find as a gem.
18. Charlotte Hornets (via Orlando) - Yaxel Lendeborg
2025-26 stats (Michigan): 15.1 ppg, 6.8 rpg, and 3.2 apg
The age (23) is the one thing that likely keeps Lendeborg out of the lottery. But he’s still a valuable prospect to watch, one of the best overall defenders and a versatile frontcourt athlete. Charlotte has a number of quality scorers on the roster, and the center position is solid, making a defensive-minded forward a good addition to the rotation.
19. Toronto Raptors - Christian Anderson
2025-26 stats (Texas Tech): 18.5 ppg and 7.4 apg
Other than Immanuel Quickley, the Raptors don’t have any real perimeter scoring threats on the roster. Anderson would give them both a quality scorer and passer to take some pressure off Barnes to facilitate the offense. The former Red Raider’s defense may be a concern, but the scoring potential is more needed for the franchise.
20. San Antonio Spurs (via Atlanta) - Henri Veesaar
2025-26 stats (North Carolina): 17 ppg and 8.7 rpg
Filled with quality guards and wings, getting a true center on the roster to pair next to Victor Wembanyama is the biggest need for the Spurs. Veesar, a 7’0 and 250-pound big man coming off a breakout campaign, is a good option to take in the first round, capable of scoring inside and out while holding his own on defense.
