23. Miami Heat: Tre Jones, G, Duke
Once again, Tre Jones falls to the Miami Heat. This is a great landing spot for him as there’s a very real chance that the Heat will lose their only natural point guard on their roster at the moment. But even if Goran Dragic does return, he could help mentor the young guard.
24. Utah Jazz: Aleksej Pokusevski, F, Olympiacos B
Aleksej Pokusevski will likely enter the draft but is one of the biggest unknowns in this year’s class. The Utah Jazz could be a landing spot, considering they’ve done well with their international scouting in the past.
25. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Denver): Jaden McDaniels, F, Washington
Jaden McDaniels is a raw 6-foot-9 forward and needs to be developed, but he’s an intriguing prospect to take late in the first round. He averaged 13 points and six rebounds on 41 percent shooting from the field and 34 percent from 3-point range.
26. Boston Celtics: Reggie Perry, F, Mississippi State
With their second first-round pick, Reggie Perry could be a nice find for the Celtics late in the first. He needs to prove that he can stretch the defense on a consistent basis but has all the tools and work ethic you want in a young prospect.
