PG. 170. . . 11. player. University of Alabama. Collin Sexton

This pick is based on the expectation of the Charlotte Hornets trading Kemba Walker and starting over. It may even be possible that they trade Kemba to move up in this Draft. Pure speculation here. If they do not want to move on from Kemba, expect Kevin Knox to go to Charlotte.

University of Kentucky. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. 77. . . PG. 12. player

Texas A&M University. Robert Williams. player. 77. . . PF/C. 13

The Clippers could be a real threat to package these two picks and move up to take Luka Doncic if he slips, or even Michael Porter Jr. But they meet two needs with the departure of Chris Paul last season and the projected departure of DeAndre Jordan this summer.

player. . SG. Lonnie Walker IV. 14. 73. . University of Miami

Will Barton declined his extension, allowing Walker to move in immediately and take his minutes. He has the potential to be one of the best scoring guards in this Draft. Denver will be overjoyed to take him here.

Mitchell Robinson. player. 142. . C. United States. 15.

This may be a reach, but Marcin Gortat is past his prime and the Washington Wizards really do not have much frontcourt depth. Sure, Kevin Knox is still on the board, but Otto Porter and Kelly Oubre are still on roster.
