19. Oklahoma City Thunder (via LA Clippers) – Mark Williams, C, Duke

The Oklahoma City Thunder need help across the board, so taking the best player available should probably be the thinking at this point in the first round.

Mark Williams out of Duke could be a candidate here for the Thunder as they look to continue to build around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Williams is a true 7-footer with rim-protection ability.

20. New York Knicks – JD Davison, G, Alabama

The New York Knicks’ plan for the point guard position didn’t exactly plan out – the move for Kemba Walker didn’t exactly work out as they had hoped – so it wouldn’t be surprising for them to try again in the 2022 NBA Draft.

JD Davison could be a potential pick.
