26. player. 147. Terrance Ferguson isn’t exactly Dante Exum, but he might be the poor man’s version. He’s solid on defense, lightening fast, and is about the same width as my computer monitor. He isn’t ready to play today, but neither is Brooklyn. If he can add some weight, he might be a really good steal here.. . Brooklyn Nets (Via Boston Celtics). terrance ferguson
20. Swanigan will probably remind Suns fans of “big sauce” Alan Williams. There’s no intuitive reason he should put up big numbers, he’s big, and lumbering, slow, but he does. After putting up 18, 13, and 3 it’s pretty clear that Caleb is smarter, quicker, or just generally more hungry than his more talented opponents. Having a 7’4″ wingspan probably doesn’t hurt either. I’m not sure if that will translate to the NBA, but I’d bet on it. He’d be a nice substance contrast to the Julius Randle style. And let’s be honest, we’re all just going to be happier if the Lakers are here and this is the best they can get.. . Los Angeles Lakers (Via Houston Rockets). caleb swanigan. 28. player
player. 29. Motley doesn’t fit the mold of you usual Spurs selection, until he does. Johnathan has bust onto the season this year and is averaging 18, 10, and 2 with a 7’3″ wingspan. Someone is almost certain to come along and give Dewayne Dedmon way too much money this off-season. Motley is a beast on the boards and gives the Spurs a chance to do what the Spurs do, yawn and move on.. . San Antonio Spurs. johnathan motley. 29
Any man with the last name of bacon deserves to be a first round selection. Although, Alpha Kaba is tempting if this was just a name game. The Jazz don’t need long-term prospects. Bacon has been really hit and miss all year on a very good Florida State team. You know he can play and contribute at a high level. It’s just a question of whether or not he can do it consistently. If he can, he’ll be a great find at the end of the first round.. . Utah Jazz (Via Golden State Warriors). dwayne bacon. 30. player. 118
