9. Dillon Brooks, F, Oregon
Dillon Brooks is one of the most underrated prospects in this year’s draft. He isn’t a great athlete or defender, but he does his best on the defensive end of the floor. That’s half the battle. Brooks doesn’t have great size, but he has the skills of a potential point forward.
He is a good ball-handler, passer, and off the dribble scorer. He can also spot up if a team already has a primary ball-handler. Brooks doesn’t get a lot of credit as a potential first round pick, but will probably outplay many first round picks as a pro.
10. Luke Kennard, G, Luke Kennard
Luke Kennard isn’t a great prospect, but he has a skill that should keep him in the league for a long time. Kennard is an excellent shooter. He’s not just a shooter; he also has the ability to pass and defend at a solid level. He’ll never be a great defender, but he’s adequate enough.
Kennard’s calling card will be his ability to make jump shots. Teams can never have enough three-point shooting. Even if Kennard doesn’t improve, he’ll still be a valuable piece off the bench.
