21. Detroit Pistons (via Minnesota) - Allen Graves
2025-26 stats (Santa Clara): 11.8 ppg and 6.5 rpg
An analytical darling with high upside as a scoring forward, Graves is a high-ceiling option for Detroit to take in their first year picking in the 20s to open the NBA Draft. Finding scoring production to help Cade Cunningham is the biggest overall need, and among those available, Graves, who had several 20+ point outings as a freshman, is the best candidate.
22. Philadelphia 76ers (via Houston) - Koa Peat
2025-26 stats (Arizona): 14.1 ppg and 5.6 rpg
The 6’9 forward is one of the best pure athletes in the NBA Draft, comfortable operating inside, and should be a menace to deal with in transition. The lack of a jumpshot is the only thing that keeps him outside of the lottery. Philly, still looking to keep this window of contention open, would be a great landing spot for Peat to shore up that four-spot.
23. Atlanta Hawks (via Cleveland) - Jayden Quaintance
2024-25 stats (Arizona State): 9.4 ppg and 7.9 rpg
Former Kentucky C Jayden Quaintance is moving really well as he moves into his pre draft workouts.

A year ago, there was a chance that Quaintance could be a top-5 pick. But an ACL injury kept him out for most of this past year, causing his stock to fall. Still, when fully healthy, Quaintance is an elite athlete, a rim runner/protector, and a high-floor option for the Hawks to take with its second pick in the draft to add to the frontcourt.
24. New York Knicks - Ebuka Okorie
2025-26 stats (Stanford): 23.2 ppg and 3.6 apg
Seemingly out of nowhere, Okorie turned into one of the best pure scorers in college basketball this past season. The 6’2 playmaker may not be a starter out of the gate for most teams, but could be a great 6th or 7th man option off the bench to give teams production. That would include the Knicks, who could give Jalen Brunson a break here and there.
