San Antonio Spurs (via Lakers): Jaylin Williams (Arkansas, PF, Sophomore), 39. Shooting over 40.0 percent from three for the third consecutive season, Scheierman should have fans who see a shot-making, ball-moving role player. For the Magic, Smith's shooting and defense can give him an edge over Paolo Banchero. But he also buried a combined four three-pointers, a notable development for a point-forward with translatable, impact passing and defensive instincts. Indiana Pacers (via Rockets):Jordan Hawkins (Connecticut, SG, Sophomore). Though not the most creative scorer, hes produced within Michigans offense, making jumpers and good decisions in terms of when to attack or move the ball. Chicago Bulls (via Nuggets):Forfeited, 56. 18. Between the shooting versatility, drives past closeouts, post buckets and body-controlled finishes, the jump hes making looks similar to Keegans last year. Tshiebwes path to the pros will call for specialty rebounding and energy, though any signs of improved mid-range or free-throw touch will make him more desirable. On NBA radars for the past few years, Cazalon has put together his strongest draft case this season with enough shot-making and two-way playmaking to complement his athleticism for finishing at 6 . 26. 24.

Beginning his career as a sportswriter, Benner then served with the Pacers for 28 years, retiring last season.

High school tape, the eye test and his 82.9 percent free-throw clip says he's a better shooter than his current 28.3 three-point mark suggests. Henderson has a bright green light with Ignite, and it can lead to questionable shots and forces. And at 6'6" with explosive burst, he seems like a lock to provide easy baskets in transition and the defensive tools to adequately guard both wing spots.

Some team may decide it's worth gambling on his unique college success with a second-round pick. Houston Rockets (via Nets): Jean Montero (Overtime Elite, PG, 2003), 23. Hes bound to resemble a pro scorer once his confidence and comfort level return, though sequences of energy plays, secondary playmaking and defensive pressure should help round out Whiteheads scouting profile. Smith doesnt have Scoot Hendersons burst or bounce. He should move up if he continues to produce against pros and former draft picks/college standouts. Detroit Pistons (via Nets): Trevion Williams (Purdue, C, Senior), 54. Los Angeles Lakers (via Magic): Justin Lewis (Marquette, SF, Redshirt Freshman), 36. Toronto Raptors (via Pistons): Bryce McGowens (Nebraska, SG, Freshman), 34. Playoff teams could see an NBA-ready backup they can trust to run offense and make good decisions and enough open shots.

New York Knicks (via Mavericks):Terquavion Smith (North Carolina State, PG/SG, Sophomore). With the offense running through Peterson, the 23-year-old senior is making a late NBA case by showcasing unique playmaking ability (8.0 assists) for a 69 forward to complement some shooting range and post scoring skill. Milwaukee Bucks:DaRon Holmes II (Dayton, PF/C, Sophomore). 3 pick. The 50s should feature a number of international players who get picked and stashed. Any production or flashes from 18-year-old Nnaji in the ACB or EuroLeague should feel meaningful. He's back up to 39.5 percent from three after averaging 22.6 points over UCLA's last five games. Cleveland Cavaliers (via Heat): Yannick Nzosa (Unicaja, C, 2003), 59. Philadelphia 76ers:Tyrese Proctor (Duke, PG/SG, Freshman).

Minnesota Timberwolves: Kendall Brown (Baylor, SF, Freshman), 17. Portland Trail Blazers:Dyson Daniels (G League Ignite, PG/SG, 2003), 8. However, there is a difference in the floor scenarios for those franchises. 48. New Orleans Pelicans (via Cavaliers): Iverson Molinar (Mississippi State, PG/SG, Junior), 56.

Los Angeles Clippers: Jean Montero (Overtime Elite, PG, 2003), 44. Jarace Walker enters the Top 10. Denver Nuggets: MarJon Beauchamp (G League Ignite, SF, 2000), 22. Charlotte, 19-43,. Ausar Thompsonwas the No. Miami Heat: Jaden Hardy (G League Ignite, SG, 2003), 28. Between his 6'6" size, mechanics, shot-making versatility and discipline, it's easy to picture his fit as an off-ball scorer and interchangeable wing. Golden State Warriors:Jake LaRavia (Wake Forest, PF, Junior), 29. The threes and isolation moves into dribble jumpers continue to be persuasive for a 6'10" freshman at his age and floor. Charlotte Hornets: Patrick Baldwin Jr. (Milwaukee, SF/PF, Freshman). 6. The San Antonio Spurs could find Keegan Murray's versatility, improvement/production and fit too enticing in the late lottery.
