14. Boston Celtics, Aaron Nesmith
Grade: B
Boston, in my opinion, has done a good job with this pick, grabbing a guy who plays the ever valuable position on the wing and if he hits, they’ve got an instant trade chip, or the high watermark of Semi Ojeleye, backing up their Brown-Tatum wing tandem.
Picking up the Kira Lewis point, I wonder who, out of these players in the ‘teens’ hits or if there is a Donovan Michell-type amongst these names? All the more reason to tune in on December 22nd.

15. Orlando Magic, Cole Anthony
Grade: B
Orlando has enough forwards and guys who won’t take stupid shots outside of the flow of the game. I mean that in the nicest way to Cole Anthony, but the Magic have a guy who was projected to go much earlier in the draft until he started playing (big red flag).
But what if he is as good as people were saying and Orlando just picked up a nice guard for their future. I would much rather see them take a high-risk guard proposition then get another forward who can’t shoot.
Let’s see how it goes.
