18. Dallas Mavericks – Tyrese Maxey, G, Kentucky

With the 18th pick, the Dallas Mavericks will likely be looking for help in the backcourt. A player that they could pair with Luka Doncic will be important for the Mavs to land at this point in the draft. Tyrese Maxey is one potential prospect that could make a lot of sense for the Mavs.

19. Brooklyn Nets – Josh Green, G, Arizona

As the Brooklyn Nets look for a third star to play next to Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, there’s no guarantee that the Nets will keep this pick. However, if they do, it would be a good bet that they draft a guard in the event that they lose Joe Harris in free agency.

One potential fit is Josh Green out of Arizona.

20. Miami Heat – Kira Lewis Jr., G, Alabama

With the off-chance that the Miami Heat could lose Goran Dragic in free agency, it would be smart for this team to add some insurance. Even if they keep Dragic, they need to find a long-term solution to the position.

Kira Lewis Jr. will be in play if he’s still on the board. He’s fast, quick, and explosive offensive player that would excel under Miami’s developmental system.
