NBA Mock Draft 6.0: Spurs jump into top 3; Lakers offload Russell Westbrook
19. Chicago Bulls – Ousmane Dieng, F, NZ Breakers
Ousmane Dieng is an interesting prospect that has begun to rise among the NBA Draft community. He’s somewhat of an unknown, but a very raw prospect that appears to have a high ceiling.
The Chicago Bulls should take a chance on Dieng. He won’t need to play right away and would have some time to develop this win-now team. And if he’s ready quicker than expected, he’d be a bonus for the team.
20. Denver Nuggets – E.J. Liddell, F, Ohio State
The Denver Nuggets don’t have any huge needs and just need to add depth, perhaps to their frontcourt.
E.J. Liddell may be a little undersized but if he continues to work – something he proved to do over his three seasons at Ohio State – there’s no reason to believe why he can’t carve out a role for an NBA team.
