15. Orlando Magic – Cole Anthony, G, North Carolina

Having Cole Anthony fall to the Orlando Magic at No. 15 might be the best-case scenario for this franchise. They’re in desperate need of a face and a new direction, not to mention a legit starting point guard (no offense to Markelle Fultz).

Anthony is a big-name with big potential. He’ll need some time to develop, but he’s an interesting player that just seems to need some time to blossom.

16. Portland Trail Blazers – Precious Achiuwa, F, Memphis

There’s a chance that the Portland Trail Blazers elect to move on from Hassan Whiteside this offseason. In that event, it would be wise for them to add some defense to their depth. That’s where a prospect such as Precious Achiuwa could come into play.

After just one season at Memphis. Achiuwa proved to be a force on the defensive end and is considered one of the best athletes in this draft class. His offense is still a work-in-progress, but he’s an interesting prospect for a team like the Blazers.
