NBA Mock Draft 8.0: Warriors trade for Ben Simmons; Jalen Green rises to No. 1

27. Brooklyn Nets – Josh Christopher, G/F, Arizona State

After watching the Brooklyn Nets fall at the hands of injury, depth will be at the utmost priority during the offseason. One way to do that is to hit a home run with the No. 27 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Josh Christopher could be an interesting prospect at No. 27. He has great size and has the tools to be a really good player. And it’ll be so much easier to develop by playing next to Kevin Durant and James Harden.

28. Golden State Warriors – Brandon Boston Jr., G, Kentucky

After acquiring Ben Simmons, there won’t be much of a need for the Golden State Warriors heading into the 2021 NBA Draft. Though, with the No. 28 pick, taking a hit-or-miss prospect such as Branon Boston Jr. would be an intriguing move.
