25. Orlando Magic select Ike Anigbogu: C – UCLA

Ike Anigbogu is one of the best bigs in the draft. He could play as a power forward, but I think his skills would be utilized best as a center. He’s a great athlete with a long wingspan, which helps him a shot blocker. Anigbogu is a great rebounder and can finish around the hoop. Anigbogu is an extremely raw prospect, and is years away from making his mark on an NBA court.

He doesn’t have a jump shot and isn’t a good passer. He has a lot of work to do to reach his potential. But if Anigbogu reaches his potential, he’ll be an elite starting center for the Magic. This is a boom-or-bust pick, but the Magic need to take a chance on someone with a lot of potential.

26. Portland Trail Blazers select Semi Ojeleye: F – SMU

Semi Ojeleye is one of the most impressive physical specimens in this year’s draft. He’s an elite athlete with outstanding strength. Ojeleye isn’t extremely long, but he makes up for it with his physicality. After transferring from Duke, Ojeleye shined during his time at SMU.

He showed that he can score the ball from anywhere on the court. Ojeleye would be a great addition to an underwhelming Trail Blazers’ bench.
