Round 1 – Picks 27 through 30
Josh Christopher could be a safe pick to make for the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks already have a strong team, but they could be seeking some youth at the shooting guard position.
Christopher has been a stud on offense, averaging 15.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for Arizona State. However, his three-point percentage has not been good; this is something that he must improve.
The Los Angeles Clippers could look to get some depth at the small forward position by drafting Scottie Lewis. During his time with Florida, Lewis averaged 9.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.
Lewis’ defense is a variable aspect of his game. He averaged 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. He could provide the Clippers with some great defense off the bench. Not to mention, he would also be a nice understudy to Kawhi Leonard.
The Philadelphia 76ers are playing well as of late, but they are also the 3rd worst three-point shooting team in the league. The 76ers can change that and get some more offense from the perimeter by drafting Ochan Agbaji.
Agbaji has played well during his third season at Kansas. He’s averaged 14.1 points per game while also shooting 39% from deep. Agbaji has improved each season with his three-point shooting, and I think he can develop more if the 76ers pick him.
The Los Angeles Lakers are the reigning champs, and they could end up with the last pick in the draft. With this pick, the Lakers will select a point guard Ayo Dosunmu.
Dosunmu is an all-around player that can shoot, pass, and even rebound. However, he needs to work on avoid personal fouls and turnovers. Dosunmu has averaged 21.2 points, 5.1 assists, and 6.4 rebounds per game for Illinois.
The Lakers do not have a young point guard that can develop on their roster. It’s time they try to start building at the point guard position.
