11. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Orlando)

Pick: Domantas Sabonis, F, Gonzaga 

TRADED TO OKC 

The Orlando Magic need a frontcourt mate to stick next to Nikola Vucevic and this could be their guy. Domantas Sabonis is still a very raw all-around prospect, but he’s one of the best complimentary bigs in this draft.

Sabonis doesn’t need the ball in his hand to be impactful. He runs the floor well enough and is highly active on the boards. He feeds off energy and can even help jumpstart a lethargic squad. He’s the type of guy that every team needs, but won’t go out of their way to get.

This isn’t a sexy pick on paper, but could pay dividends if Sabonis is the perfect complimentary big that Vucevic has needed all this time.

Next: Atlanta Hawks
