25. Memphis Grizzlies: Delon Wright, Utah
The Grizzlies may not necessarily need another point guard in the backcourt, but Delon Wright is too talented to pass up on. Defensively he’s a gem, ranking top 5 in defensive win shares during the 2014-2015 season. He’s also a solid facilitator, averaging 5.1 assists and only 1.9 turnovers per game. His jumpshot is still very much a work in progress, but he’s got the skills to be a quality backup behind Mike Conley.
26. San Antonio Spurs: Christian Wood, UNLV
Christian Wood is all about upside. He’s got the size, athleticism and defensive skill to be an excellent big man, but lacks the tools to be a difference maker right now. When considering how late the Spurs are drafting, investing in a project like Wood makes sense.
27. Los Angeles Lakers: R.J. Hunter, Georgia State
If one things for certain, it’s that R.J. Hunter can knock down three point shots. He made an impressive 35.4% of his attempts (253-715) during his 3-year tenure with Georgia State, all while carrying them to a surprising NCAA tournament appearance. If Hunter is available at 27, he should be a top priority for the Lakers, given the fact that they ranked near the bottom of the league in three pointers made last season.
