24- Houston Rockets- Isaiah Jackson, C Kentucky

25- Los Angeles Clippers- Jaden Springer, PG Tennessee

26- Denver Nuggets- Day’Ron Sharpe C North Carolina

27- Brooklyn Nets- Miles McBride PG West Virginia

28- Philadelphia 76ers- Tre Mann, PG Florida

29- Phoenix Suns- Ayo Dosunmu, SG Illinois

30- Utah Jazz- Joshua Primo, SG Alabama

Charlie's note: The lottery selections were easier to select than the rest of the first round. The top four picks are nearly pre-determined in this year's draft, and there are other players that have risen in draft boards to become a top 14 pick. There are some players that I have falling, including Jonathan Kuminga, Jalen Johnson, Keon Johnson, and Jaden Springer, but those players could become steals later in the first round. I'm looking forward to seeing how team's make their selections based on players having higher ceilings vs. players that can contribute immediately.

Lynden's note: This year's draft has 4 players who would be number 1 picks in other drafts. Each player from Cunningham to Green to Mobley all bring something special. However, Jalen Suggs is the guy I'm looking at to be the best player from this draft when its all said and done. Be sure to keep your eye on Cam Thomas and where he falls because he is the guy I believe will be this year's steal in the draft.
