19. New York Knicks (via Dallas) – Jordan Hawkins, F, Connecticut
Jordan Hawkins has made quite the jump from his freshman to sophomore season at Connecticut and that could very well lead him to be a first-round pick in this year’s NBA Draft if he’s ready to make such a leap.
He’s a player that could make sense for the New York Knicks as they continue to try to build off the good vibes that they’ve had this season.
20. Golden State Warriors – GG Jackson, F, South Carolina
Short of the Golden State Warriors being able to flip the switch over the last few weeks of the season and into the playoffs, this is going to end in a disappointing title defense for the defending NBA champions.
With their late first-round pick, look for the Warriors to try and shore up some of their weaknesses. One of them happens to be frontcourt depth. This is where GG Jackson could make some sense for the team.
