29. Brooklyn Nets (via Toronto Raptors) – Jalen Brunson, PG, Villanova

Jalen Brunson could end up being one of those players that isn’t as big or athletic as his counterparts, but could end up being a really good NBA player. He was a leader and winner and Villanova and could be the exact player that the Nets need on their roster.

He averaged 19 points and five assists on 41 percent shooting from 3-point range last season at Villanova, and even though he’s on the smaller side for guard prospects I don’t think it would be surprising to anyone to see him find a thriving role in the NBA.
