NBA Mock Draft: James Wiseman jumps to No. 1; Knicks surprise at No. 8
24. Milwaukee Bucks – Theo Maledon, G, ASVEL
Even though the Milwaukee Bucks will be playing for a championship next season, it would be smart for them to invest in their future at the 2020 NBA Draft. Adding a prospect such as Theo Maledon would go a long way in doing so. Maledon is a project with potential. He could end up being a starting guard a few years after his development.
25. Oklahoma City Thunder – Tre Jones, G, Duke
With the expectation that the Oklahoma City Thunder will lose Chris Paul during the offseason, it wouldn’t be surprising for the team to target a guard late in the first round. Tre Jones could emerge as a candidate for the Thunder. Jones averaged 16 points and six assists on 42 percent shooting from the field and 36 percent shooting from 3-point range.
26. Boston Celtics – Leandro Bolmaro, G, FC Barcelona
Without much need on the roster, other than frontcourt depth which they addressed with the No. 14 overall pick, Leandro Bolmaro could be in play for the Celtics. He’s a big guard that has playmaking ability. He’d be an interesting addition to an already talented roster.
