19. Atlanta Hawks select Jarrett Allen: C – Texas

Jarrett Allen is an extremely talented center prospect. He’s not ready to make an impact in an NBA game, but the skills are all there. His jump shot is a work in progress, but he’s shown stretch five potential. Allen is a monster around the hoop on both ends of the floor.

He’ll be a great shot blocker and low post scorer once he gets acclimated to the NBA game. He’d make a great backup to Dwight Howard, and would take over as their starter once Howard leaves.

20. Portland Trail Blazers select Terrance Ferguson: SG – Australia

Terrance Ferguson decided to skip college and play basketball in Australia. Although he didn’t get as much playing time in Australia as he would’ve gotten at the University of Arizona, he played enough for NBA teams to assess his draft stock and potential.

The Trail Blazers need to add a scoring punch to their bench, and Ferguson has the potential to develop into a dominant shooting guard.
