tyler lydon. 22. player. 81. The Raptors have a lot of problems coming their way in free agency. PJ Tucker, Serge Ibaka, Patrick Patterson, and Kyle Lowry will all be unrestricted. This could end up leaving a gap at power forward. Lydon is the best option left. He can stretch the floor as a knock down shooter which should open the lane for the lumbering bigs like Poeltl and Valanciunas. He won’t be strong enough to be an elite player, but he can be a great Patterson-like player which works well for their style of play.. . Toronto Raptors

23. player. 38. The Magic in this spot has a nice luxury of just needing to draft the most talented player on the board. That is Luke Kennard. Kennard shocked Duke with his development and ability to take over the team from Grayson Allen. His defense leaves you wondering if he’s been attending the Devin Booker school, but he’s a killer on the offensive side. Evan Fournier is unlikely to go anywhere as the starter, but Kennard could be the best scorer off the bench, which is a role he’s well suited for.. . Orlando Magic (Via Los Angeles Clippers). luke kennard

147. The Nets got a huge step in the right direction by picking up another first round pick, which they have here from the Wizards. Patton is a project, but at 7’0″ and a good runner, he’s exactly the kind of long-term prospect the Nets should be taking.. . Brooklyn Nets (Via Washington Wizards). justin patton. 24. player

Utah Jazz. grayson allen. 25. player. 118. Utah is in for a really expensive summer. Boston is likely to give a max offer to Hayward and San Antonio will take a run at George Hill. Luckily for the Jazz they have the lowest salary in the NBA this year and players generally seem to like playing there. Grayson Allen could be just the kind of strange player they need to help improve their young team. Allen probably would have been a lottery pick had he come out last year. Even having a down year this year he is averaging 14 points, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds a game which might make him a nice backup for Hayward over the next few years. His hustle and attitude alone would be fun to see play for a passionate fan base like Utah..
