Point Guard / 6-5 / Washington / Freshman
23.2 ppg, 5.9 apg
|
The Sixers get themselves a (likely) franchise point guard to add to their core of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. Philly will indeed be exciting to follow. |
![]() |
2. LA Lakers: Lonzo Ball
Point Guard / 6-6 / UCLA / Freshman
14.6 ppg, 7.6 apg
|
If not the best one, the Lakers certainly select the most high-profile player in the draft. Expect Ball to make his teammates better right away. |
![]() |
3. Boston: Jayson Tatum
Small Forward / 6-8 / Duke / Freshman
16.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg
|
Danny Ainge surprises a lot of people going with Jayson Tatum over Josh Jackson. The Celtics get even deeper with a player with a good chance of becoming a star down the road. |
![]() |
4. Phoenix: Josh Jackson
Small Forward / 6-8 / Kansas / Freshman
16.3 ppg, 7.4 rpg

Point Guard / 6-3 / Kentucky / Freshman
16.7 ppg, 4.6 apg

Small Forward / 6-10 / Florida State / Freshman
12.0 ppg, 7.8 rpg
|
Big man with great mobility who could make an impact on the defensive end pretty soon. Offensive game needs improvement. |
![]() |
Power Forward / 7-0 / Arizona / Freshman
15.6 ppg, 7.2 rpg
|
A poor man’s Dirk Nowitzki who will spread the floor for the Bulls. How much will he struggle defensively at the pro level? |
![]() |
Point Guard / 6-5 / Strasbourg IG (France) / 1998
5.1 ppg, 2.0 rpg
|
Has terrific length and size for the point guard position. Probably not ready to contribute right away and Knicks don’t have a great track record of developing young players. |
![]() |
9. Dallas: Dennis Smith
Point Guard / 6-2 / North Carolina State / Freshman
18.1 ppg, 6.2 apg
|
Extremely athletic guard joins one of the least athletic squads in the NBA. Needs to improve jump shot and defense. |

10.0 ppg, 5.9 rpg

11. Charlotte: Malik Monk
Shooting Guard / 6-3 / Kentucky / Freshman
19.8 ppg, 2.5 rpg

Can both hit three-pointers and drive to the basket. Defense and playmaking are not strengths. |
![]() |
12. Detroit: Luke Kennard
Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Duke / Sophomore
19.5 ppg, 5.1 rpg
|
Good shooter with limited athleticism for the Detroit Pistons. |
![]() |
Shooting Guard / 6-3 / Louisville / Sophomore
15.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg
|
Intense competitor and hard-nosed defender who’s been compared to Dwyane Wade by some. |
![]() |
14. Miami: Bam Adebayo
Power Forward / 6-10 / Kentucky / Freshman
13.0 ppg, 8.0 rpg
|
Great body and athleticism. Should be a good rim protector in the NBA. Has surprised many with his shooting lately. |
![]() |
Small Forward / 6-8 / North Carolina / Junior
18.2 ppg, 4.6 rpg

Small Forward / 6-10 / Michigan / Sophomore
11.0 ppg, 5.3 rpg

![]() |
Power Forward / 6-10 / UCLA / Freshman
16.3 ppg, 8.2 rpg
|
Face-up four that fits into today’s spread-the-floor style perfectly. His toughness and ability to extend his shot remain concerns. |
![]() |

Shooting Guard / 6-7 / Adelaide 36ers (Australia) / 1998
4.6 ppg, 1.1 rpg

Oklahoma City drafts a project in Terrance Ferguson. Didn’t play much in Australia last season, yet drew positive reviews. |
![]() |
22. Brooklyn: Jarrett Allen
Center / 6-10 / Texas / Freshman
13.4 ppg, 8.4 rpg
|
It was a long night for the Texas center. On the bright side, he should get minutes for a team that’s clearly not in win-now mode. |
![]() |
23. Toronto: OG Anunoby
Small Forward / 6-8 / Indiana / Sophomore
11.6 ppg, 5.4 rpg
