20. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Brooklyn Nets

This guy deserves to be on a better team.

If you’ve watched the Brooklyn Nets play, you can tell that Rondae Hollis-Jefferson can do a lot of things that guys like Jaylen Brown and Donovan Mitchell can do from a defensive standpoint.

Offensively, this guy has a lot to prove over the next few years. At times, he does the LeBron James bully ball technique, and that works just fine.

His player comp is a really good young James Johnson, or a high comp like Draymond Green. He could also turn out like Wilson Chandler, depending on how he does offensively.

So far, Hollis-Jefferson is one of the harder comps. Brooklyn has five really great young assets in Hollis-Jefferson, D’angelo Russell, Caris LaVert, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Jarrett Allen.
