25. Chicago Bulls – Daimion Collins, F, Kentucky

With a second first-round pick for the Chicago Bulls, adding depth is the goal here. Daimion Collins would be a good selection. He’s long and has the potential to be a great defender and is already there in terms of shot-blocking. Still, he’s an extremely raw prospect.

26. Houston Rockets (via Miami) – Nikola Jovic, F, Serbia

The Houston Rockets aren’t afraid to take chances and taking a shot on arguably the best and most talented player from overseas in Nikola Jovic would be a good selection.

Side note: I have a theory that Nikola Jovic’s name is too similar to Nikola Jokic’s name that he’s set up to not be a star at the NBA level. It’s weird and may not make sense and, hopefully, he proves me wrong, but it’s out there now.
