5. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Houston) – Jonathan Kuminga, G/F, G League

Like Jalen Green, Jonathan Kuminga elected to play in the G League over playing in college, and you can’t help but wonder whether that will ultimately end up helping or hurting him in the pre-draft process. Nevertheless, he’s still projected to be a top 10 pick and comes in at No. 5 in our latest mock.

Kuminga is a prospect that has the size and athleticism that would make any scout willing to bet on. He still needs to work on his offensive game – he only shot 39 percent from the field and 25 percent from 3-point range – but the hope is that he can further develop on that end of the floor with NBA coaches.

I’m not sure if Kuminga is a certified star at the next level, but there’s no question that he has some of the best measurables and raw potential in this class.
