29. Phoenix Suns – Brandon Boston Jr., G, Kentucky

The Phoenix Suns have had success with Kentucky players recently and it wouldn’t be surprising for them to take another chance on another Wildcat. Brandon Boston Jr. fits the bill as a player that underwhelmed during his collegiate career but one that comes with plenty of upside.

Boston could be a fit with the Suns and could grow under their impressive developmental system.

30. Utah Jazz – Max Abmas, G, Oral Roberts

The Utah Jazz saw their season come to a disappointing in the postseason, and it would be wise for this team to make some improvements during the offseason. At the draft, they could select Max Abmas who is coming off a sophomore season at Oral Roberts in which he averaged 24 points on 48 percent shooting from the field and 43 percent shooting from 3-point range.

Especially with the uncertainty that surrounds this team in the backcourt (next to Donovan Mitchell), Abmas could be an interesting selection.
