Shooting Guard. Miami. Lonnie Walker IV. 11. player. 170. Talent might dictate that Collin Sexton goes here, but the Hornets already have a point guard named Kemba Walker. Therefore, they go with Lonnie Walker who could play the Bradley Beal role in Charlotte.

77. The Clippers get their long-term replacement for Chris Paul and boy, will he fit well with the team. Sexton is a score-first point guard who brings the ultimate intensity and won’t back down from anyone. Patrick Beverely is going to love this guy.. Point Guard. Alabama. Collin Sexton. 12. player

Troy Brown Jr.. 13. player. 77. The Clippers have back to back picks here so they might as well completely address their backcourt. Troy Brown Jr. could turn into a secondary playmaker for the team and brings a bit of defensive focus as well. He still has plenty of room to get better and gives the team a nice ceiling.. Shooting Guard. Oregon

ESPN is reporting Knox is rising on team’s draft boards so don’t be surprised to see him go much higher than this. However, he would fit the Nuggets small forward woes and could even slide to the 4 to get some extra time.. Forward. Kentucky. Kevin Knox. 14. player. 73

Robert Williams. 15. player. 142. Robert Williams is the man the Bucks are hoping will fall to him. Unfortunately, he’s unlikely to get past Washington. Williams will have one year to get used to the game behind the aging Marcin Gortat, but look for him to take over the position full-time next year.. Center. Texas A&M

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a nice player to pair with Devin Booker in the backcourt. He’s long (6-foot-6 with a 6-foot-11 wingspan), isn’t ball-dominant and will play hard defense. The Suns are quickly building a nice team.. Point Guard/ Shooting Guard. Kentucky. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. 16. player. 66

89. Zhaire Smith made huge strides during his freshman campaign at Texas Tech and that has some scouts excited about his ceiling as a prospect. Traditionally, Milwaukee has loved to take high risk, high reward players and they’ll add another one to their list in an uber-athletic Smith.. Small Forward. Texas Tech. Zhaire Smith. 17. player

Jacob Evans. 18. player. 29. The Spurs may need to replace a few wings this offseason (Kawhi Leonard, anyone?) so it makes sense that’s the position they target in the draft. Evans can turn himself into the 3-and-D player that all NBA teams love to have.. Shooting Guard/Small Forward. Cincinnati

125. The Hawks have another pick in the first round here so they decide to go with Aaron Holiday. With Dennis Schroder’s future in Atlanta in question, Holiday can provide the team with a point guard who can knock down threes and spread the floor.. Point Guard. UCLA. Aaron Holiday. 19. player

86. The Timberwolves have very little depth at every position on their roster so they could easily target a multi-positional player here. Bates-Diop is a do it all type player who can do the dirty work for Minnesota.. Forward. Ohio State. Keita Bates-Diop. 20. player
