25. Brooklyn Nets (via PHI) – Trevor Keels, F, Duke
Trevor Keels could still elect to remain at Duke for another season, but if he did officially declare there’s a good chance that he could sneak into being a late first-round pick. And if there, the Nets should take advantage of his potential.
26. Dallas Mavericks – Jaden Hardy, G, G League
The search continues for the Dallas Mavericks in a second star to place alongside Luka Doncic. Jaden Hardy is an interesting option late in the first round if he doesn’t begin to rise up draft boards over the next few weeks.
He didn’t get the huge platform that is NCAA basketball but could end up being one of the biggest surprises selected outside the lottery.
