25. San Antonio Spurs (via BOS) – Nikola Jovic, F, International

Again, the Spurs taking a shot late in the first round on the big has worked so many times in the past. This time, taking a chance on a big that is from overseas. Can the Spurs’ developmental system flex its muscles again?

26. Golden State Warriors – Kendall Brown, F, Baylor

Looking for another diamond in the rough late in the first round, the Golden State Warriors could target a prospect such as Kendall Brown. He has shown the versatility to be a good player at the next level and would fit right into what the Warriors like to do.

He could be developed nicely in the Warriors organization, with no pressure to contribute right away.
