27. Milwaukee Bucks – Patrick Baldwin Jr., F, Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks are another team that will likely be looking to add some depth to the frontcourt at the 2022 NBA Draft, especially considering that they won’t have a ton of flexibility in terms of the salary cap.

Patrick Baldwin Jr. could be in play for the team late in the first round.

28. Miami Heat – Jaime Jaquez Jr., F, UCLA

The Miami Heat have needed help in the frontcourt this season and it would be surprising if they didn’t use their first-round pick (if they keep it) to try to address the problem. Jaime Jaquez Jr. is an intriguing option as he was one of UCLA’s most important players this past season.
