17. Memphis Grizzlies – Franz Wagner, F, Michigan

Franz Wagner could be an option for the Memphis Grizzlies, who could be looking to add some depth to their frontcourt. Wagner is an intriguing big with two-way potential and has versatile offensive potential.

Wagner would be a great addition for the young talented Grizzlies. He might not ever develop into a star but would be a good fit for an up-and-coming team.

18. Oklahoma City Thunder – Isaiah Jackson, C, Kentucky

The Thunder continue their build by adding an intriguing big, Isaiah Jackson. He likely will get the Kentucky Wildcats bump but he has the athleticism and overall tools to be a really good player down the line. He’s going to need time to develop but the Thunder might be the perfect landing spot.
