NBA Mock Draft: LaMelo Ball headlines a class of unknown prospects

19. Milwaukee Bucks (via Indiana) – Aleksej Pokusevski, Olympiacos B

The Milwaukee Bucks don’t necessarily have a huge need heading into the NBA Draft. In fact, by the time the draft actually takes place, we could be looking back at the Bucks and talking about how they just won an NBA Championship. But taking a player like Aleksej Pokusevski would make sense.

He’s “likely” to enter the NBA Draft but hasn’t made an official decision yet. He could end up rising up the draft board, but if the Bucks could take him at No. 19 they’d be potentially snagging another steal.

20. Brooklyn Nets (via Philadelphia) – Paul Reed, F, DePaul

The Brooklyn Nets will essentially be adding Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant over the summer (whenever that happens to be for the NBA this season), but adding a player like Paul Reed could be beneficial as well. He’s the type of player that won’t be asked to do much early on and could develop alongside one of the better young bigs in the NBA, Jarrett Allen.

Plus, playing next to KD and Kyrie wouldn’t hurt either.
