. Kevin Knox. 16. player. 66. . SF. University of Kentucky

Kevin Knox slides here because of other teams drafting for need or other players sliding unexpectedly. Phoenix needs a point guard, but will wait for better value instead of reaching. Knox sliding here is a great value pick for the Suns.

. 17. 89. player. . Wing. University of Oregon. Troy Brown

The Milwaukee Bucks could use some depth behind Khris Middleton and the Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Brown looks to be every part of a solid two-way player.

29. PG. Elie Okobo. 18. . . France. player

Why not replace one point guard from France with another? Okobo is one of the prospects whose stock is rising that nobody is really talking about. DeJounte Murray is probably better-suited to be an off-guard and not the primary ball-handler over the long-term. The San Antonio Spurs take Tony Parker’s replacement here.

. player. 125. . C. UNLV. Brandon McCoy. 19

The Atlanta Hawks passed on a big man for a point guard with star power. Now it is time to take a chance on a player to slide next to John Collins for the long-term.

20. 86. PF. Villanova. Omari Spellman. player. .

Anyone convinced that Taj Gibson can be the starting power forward for a team that does anything in the playoffs? I am not. Omari Spellman is a winner and can spread the floor. The Minnesota Timberwolves need both because their two wings are not consistent shooters from outside themselves.
